Which mechanism allows salmon to navigate upstream when visibility is poor?

A)Olfactory imprinting on natal streams
B)Celestial navigation using polarized light
C)Magnetic field detection for orientation
D)Echolocation to detect current boundaries

💡 Explanation

Salmon navigate via olfactory imprinting, a process where they memorize the unique chemical composition of their birth river; because juvenile salmon imprint chemicals in natal streams, therefore, they return due to recognition, rather than magnetic or celestial cues.
