Which risk increases for sea turtle hatchlings migrating near coastal power lines?

A)Decreased metabolism rate slows travel
B)Disrupted geomagnetic imprinting misdirects path
C)Muscle fatigue from constant swimming
D)Predator detection due to reduced vigilance

💡 Explanation

Disrupted geomagnetic imprinting occurs because electromagnetic interference interferes with magnetoreception which guides navigation; therefore, hatchlings misdirect their migration, rather than adjusting metabolism, because of disrupted geomagnetic signals.
