Which outcome results when artificial light disrupts avian magnetic alignment during nocturnal migration?

A)Skewed compass, circuitous flight path
B)Reduced food intake, metabolic suppression
C)Elevated body temperature, dehydration risk
D)Compromised plumage, increased feather loss

💡 Explanation

Light pollution interferes with magnetoception, impairing the birds' internal magnetic compass because light exposure overwhelms their ability to properly orient; therefore birds deviate substantially from their intended route, becoming disoriented, rather than experiencing the other effects which relate to different stressors.
