B)Precise sundial designs were established
C)Camera obscura principles elucidated✓
D)Telescopic astronomical observations increased
💡 Explanation
Al-Haytham's mirror experiments led to discovering the pinhole effect; the fundamental imaging principle of the camera obscura because projected light through a small hole creates an inverted image via rectilinear propagation; therefore, this understanding enabled camera obscura development, rather than altering grinding techniques or telescope design.
