Which risk increases when background noise interferes with bat calls?

💡 Explanation

Masking impairs bat echolocation causing incorrect prey location identification, because the signal fades. Therefore, reduced prey capture efficiency occurs, rather than other listed effects; these do not rely on auditory perception like ambient sound affecting echolocation.
