A
Correct answer
Explanation
The Arctic tern holds the record for the longest migration of any bird, traveling from its Arctic breeding grounds to the Antarctic coast and back each year. This round trip can be up to 71,000 km annually. Swallows and cranes migrate but not to this extent, while penguins are native to the Antarctic and don't migrate to the Arctic.
