A)Increased predation risk becomes significant ✓
B)Genetic drift accelerates noticeably
C)Mutation rate increases sharply
D)Speciation occurs nearly instantaneously
💡 Explanation
Increased predation risk arises because *acoustic masking* decreases signal clarity to avian listeners across distance, therefore, making it much harder to detect approaching predators, rather than altered genetics or nearly instantaneous evolution.
