阅读理解-During the transition of the Earth’s magnetic field _____.
The collapse of the Earth’s magnetic field—which guards the planet and guides many of its creatures—appears to have started seriously about 150 years ago, the New York Times reported last week. The field’s strength has decreased by 10 or 15 per cent so far and this has increased the debate over whether it signals a reversal of the planet’s lines of magnetic force. During a reversal, the main field weakens, almost vanishes, and reappears with opposite polarity.The transition would take thousands of years.Once completed, compass needles that had pointed north would point south.A reversal could cause problems for both man and animals.Astronauts and satellites would have difficulties.Birds, fish and animals that rely on the magnetic field for navigation would find migration confusing.But experts said the effects would not be a big disaster, despite claims of doom and vague evidence of links between past field reversals and species extinctions. Although a total transition may be hundreds or thousands of years away, the rapid decline in magnetic strength is already affecting satellites.Last month, the European Space Agency approved the world’s largest effort at tracking the field’s shifts.A group of new satellites, called Swarm, is to monitor the collapsing field with far greater precision.“We want to get some idea of how this would evolve in the near future, just like people trying to predict the weather,” said Gauthier Hulot, a French geo- physicist working on the satellite plan.“I’m personally quite convinced we should be able to work out the first predictions by the end of the mission.” No matter what the new findings, the public has no reason to panic.Even if a transition is coming on its way, it might take 2000 years to mature.The last one took place 780000 years ago, when early humans were learning how to make stone tools.Deep inside the Earth flow hot currents of melted iron.This mechanical energy creates electromagnetism.This process is known as the geophysical generator.In a car’s generator, the same principle turns mechanical energy into electricity. No one knows precisely why the field periodically reverses.But scientists say the responsibility probably lies with changes in the disorderly flows of melted iron, which they see as similar to the gases that make up the clouds of Jupiter.

A.the compass will become useless
B.man and animals will be confused as to directions
C.the magnetic strength of the Earth will disappear
D.the magnetic strength of the Earth will be stronger
我个人认为这个应该是：B
解析：第三段第四句开始：磁场的转换给人类和动物带来许多问题。宇航员和卫星会遇到很多困难，依靠磁场指示方向迁徙的鸟类、鱼类和其他动物会在迁徙中失去方向。
