← Nature & AnimalsWhich risk arises for migratory birds experiencing high solar activity?
A)Disrupted magnetic compass orientation✓
B)Increased susceptibility to viral infection
C)Enhanced precision celestial navigation
D)Diminished olfactory map utilization
💡 Explanation
Solar flares induce geomagnetic disturbances impacting navigation. High inclination angles require a functional magnetic compass mechanism to accurately interpret the Earth's reduced magnetic field; therefore orientation accuracy decreases, rather than other mechanisms being effective due to magnetic disorientation.
