Which outcome occurs when a soaring bird's wing loading significantly increases during rapid altitude gain?

A)Reduced maneuverability from stalled airflow
B)Enhanced lift coefficient at lower speeds
C)Decreased energy expenditure using thermals
D)Improved detection of ground prey location

💡 Explanation

When wing loading increases rapidly due to changes airspeed at varying altitudes, airflow separation may occur because the angle of attack exceeds optimal limit, leading to a stall. Therefore, reduced maneuverability results, rather than improved flight efficiency which would need sustained favorable wind conditions.
