History

Which consequence arose during long 18th-century voyages when ships biscuit stores became infested?

A)Decreased navigational accuracy occurs
B)Scurvy outbreaks became common
C)Crew morale significantly declined
D)Cannon misfires often resulted

💡 Explanation

Scurvy outbreaks became common because the Vitamin C source degraded during prolonged biscuit infestations, triggering vitamin deficiency; specifically, oxidation degrades ascorbic acid, therefore leading to scurvy rather than merely affecting morale or navigation.
