← Nature & AnimalsWhich orientation errors emerge when Monarch butterflies rely on their magnetic compass during high solar flare activity?
A)Navigation angle shifts westward slightly
B)Increased random directional flight dispersal✓
C)Migratory restlessness increases dramatically
D)Orientation precision improves drastically offshore
💡 Explanation
Increased solar flare activity interferes with the butterflies' magnetic compass due to disruptions of the geomagnetic field; therefore, random flight dispersal increases because the compass mechanism becomes unreliable, rather than maintaining oriented flight.
