Which outcome occurs when a migratory bird's nutrient reserves deplete excessively during sustained soaring?

A)Enhanced lift due to altered thermals
B)Reduced maneuverability for predator avoidance
C)Increased efficiency in mitochondrial respiration
D)Improved plumage for radiative heat control

💡 Explanation

Reduced maneuverability results because diminished fuel impacts wing loading, decreasing lift responsiveness through increased stall speed; this directly hinders aerodynamic control rather than aiding thermally because of the increased mass, therefore reducing the speed to initiate lift, rather than benefiting metabolic processes.
