C) If a homing pigeon is fitted with a magnetic helmet, it would most likely not be able to find its way on a cloudy day.
D) If a homing pigeon is fitted with a magnetic helmet, it would most likely not be able to find its way on a cloudy day, but it would likely be able to navigate on a sunny day because it would still be able to use the sun as a compass.
E) A biological clock used for time cues is not necessary for a homing pigeon to use the sun compass.
