Which outcome commonly occurs when Monarch butterflies’ magnetic receptors are disrupted during migration?

A)Arrested development of larval stages
B)Complete halt in eastward flight path
C)Sporadic deviation from southerly paths
D)Inability of offspring to overwinter

💡 Explanation

Minor navigational errors occur because disruption of the magnetic compass affects the sensory mechanism which aids their migration south; therefore, deviation happens rather than a full stop because other navigation methods supplement the impaired magnetic sense, but do not completely compensate.
