Which risk increases for an echolocating bat hunting near dense moth swarms?

💡 Explanation

Target masking occurs because the moth swarm's density causes excessive echo interference, obscuring individual moth targets, therefore the bat may have difficulty distinguishing prey signals, rather than facing resonance stress or metabolic failure.
