Which navigational error occurs most readily when birds ignore inclination angle?

A)Random deviation from migratory route
B)Systematic directional errors from east/west
C)Consistent longitudinal over or undershoot
D)Latitudinal displacement towards equator/pole

💡 Explanation

Failure to properly assess magnetic inclination leads to latitudinal error, via magnetoception used as a geomagnetic compass; because birds use inclination as input, therefore latitudinal position will be incorrect, rather than longitude and east/west error is azimutal.
