Which risk increases when songbirds breed near roads?

A)Increased offspring heterozygosity prevents inbreeding
B)Increased offspring predation via masking calls
C)Reduced territory defense reduces competition
D)Reduced immune response decreases disease resistance

💡 Explanation

Increased road noise leads to signal masking, which interferes with alarm calls; thus, increased offspring predation results because masked calls prevent predators detections rather than improve territory defense. Therefore alternatives do not result from simple increased noise levels.
