Which outcome occurs among migrating birds experiencing excessive wing loading during headwinds encountering thermal updrafts?

A)Increased reliance on powered flapping
B)Enhanced efficiency of active soaring
C)Decreased energy expenditure over distance
D)Reduced sensitivity to vertical turbulence

💡 Explanation

Increased wing loading demands greater lift; therefore, if headwinds require climbing using thermals, powered flapping becomes necessary because reliance on buoyancy and pure soaring is insufficient, rather than providing improved or maintained positional control.
