Which outcome minimizes descent during avian soaring flight using slotted feathers?

💡 Explanation

Slotted feathers delay stall because boundary layer flow separation is postponed by energized air passing through the slots, therefore lift is maintained at higher angles of attack rather than stalling causing immediate loss of altitude.
