Answer:

A) Light pollution both attracts and repels migratory birds

In addition to the many hazards that exist in urban areas, cities typically lack the food resources and cover that birds need during migration or when raising their young. ... Darkening skies at night during migration season makes it easier for birds to navigate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Migration carries high costs in predation and mortality, including from hunting by humans, and is driven primarily by availability of food. It occurs mainly in the northern hemisphere, where birds are funneled on to specific routes by natural barriers such as the Mediterranean Sea or the Caribbean Sea.
