Which outcome occurs when a bird increases soaring duration relative to its body mass?

💡 Explanation

Decreased induced drag is the outcome because a greater relative soaring duration reduces wing loading, therefore the induced drag decreases because this boosts the advantageous qualities of a high aspect ratio wing, rather than increasing parasite drag due to surface disruption.
