← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome impairs migratory songbirds during solar disturbances?
A)Disrupted magnetic compass✓
B)Weakened olfactory navigation
C)Distorted celestial orientation
D)Increased metabolic energy use
💡 Explanation
Solar disturbances cause magnetic field fluctuations, which disrupt the built-in magnetic compass navigation system of migratory birds because they use the Earth's magnetic field for orientation. Therefore, their migration paths deviate, rather than relying solely on olfactory clues or celestial cues.
