← Nature & AnimalsWhich risk increases when asynchronous feather molting occurs?
A)Reduced flight maneuverability acutely✓
B)Enhanced camouflage disruption overall
C)Decreased thermoregulation capability temporarily
D)Elevated parasite transmission risk
💡 Explanation
Reduced flight control occurs because asymmetrical feather loss raises wing loading drastically on one side, causing instability via altered lift distribution, therefore impairing maneuverability dramatically, rather than improving camouflage or thermoregulation functions, which spread changes slowly.
