← Nature & AnimalsWhich homing behavior arises when migratory birds encounter overcast conditions?
A)Olfactory map reliance increases sharply
B)Celestial cues become misinterpreted easily
C)Magnetic compass orientation defaults alone✓
D)Echolocation navigation pathway becomes activated
💡 Explanation
Restricted celestial navigation causes errors; therefore, a magnetic compass orientation mechanism helps them maintain direction, because this allows course correction, rather than random flight; reliance upon the stars alone fails under heavy cloud.
