Which navigation method may involve animals sensing changes in magnetic fields?

Magnetic navigation is a method utilized by certain animals to sense changes in Earth's magnetic fields for orientation and navigation. Many species, such as migratory birds, sea turtles, and some fish, possess specialized cells or proteins that enable them to detect magnetic fields. This ability allows them to navigate over long distances, particularly during migration, by following the Earth's geomagnetic cues.

In contrast, stellar navigation relies on celestial bodies like stars for orientation. Solar navigation involves using the position of the sun as a guide, while astronomical navigation encompasses a broader range of celestial bodies, including both stars and planets, for navigation purposes. These methods do not involve the detection of magnetic fields, which distinguishes magnetic navigation as the correct choice.
