Which outcome results when a bird's wing loading significantly increases with added mass?

A)Reduced maneuverability during aerial predation
B)Enhanced lift generation at slower airspeeds
C)Improved stability amidst strong updrafts
D)Decreased energy expenditure during prolonged soaring

💡 Explanation

When wing loading increases, the increased mass reduces the bird's ability to rapidly change direction due to higher inertia, affecting maneuverability because turning requires greater force. Therefore reduced maneuverability results, rather than enhanced lift, improved stability, or decreased energy expenditure, which require reductions in wing loading.
