While a peregrine falcon is diving at terminal velocity, which consequence results when disrupted airflow across damaged flight feathers alters pressure?

A)Induced molting of damaged feathers
B)Increased lift and decreased drag
C)Reduced aerodynamic stability and control
D)Enhanced energy-efficient soaring capability

💡 Explanation

Reduced aerodynamic stability and control occurs because damaged flight feathers disrupt the smooth airflow, resulting in turbulent flow and decreased lift; therefore, control is diminished, rather than enhanced soaring, because laminar flow decreases.
