← HistoryWhich consequence resulted when Inca builders lacked accurate quipu records managing stone block transport?
A)Accelerated structural wall deterioration occurs
B)Increased bridge cable tensile oscillation
C)Misalignment produced uneven weight distribution.✓
D)Canal water flow rates decline quickly.
💡 Explanation
Misalignment causes uneven weight distribution because of cumulative errors recorded on the quipu, acting as an imperfect memory storage mechanism for quantity and dimension, therefore dimensional drift occurs in the structures, rather than uniform stress in walls or other systems.
