Which navigational problem would arise in monarch butterflies lacking properly developed olfactory maps?

A)Inability to locate overwintering habitats
B)Failure to detect Earth's magnetic field
C)Disruption of internal circadian rhythm
D)Impaired larval development during migration

💡 Explanation

An inability to use olfactory cues prevents accurate location of overwintering sites; this relies on olfactory map-based homing. Therefore butterflies cannot complete their multigenerational migration, rather than other disorientation because magnetic or circadian senses are unaffected.
