← HistoryWhich error increasingly risks inaccurate Inca record-keeping related to resource allocation via quipu, when facing high glyph variability in knots?
A)Systematic unraveling during transport
B)Misinterpretation of knot decimal values✓
C)Predator damage affects structural integrity
D)Fungal growth distorts yarn colors
💡 Explanation
Misinterpretation errors rise because high glyph variability affects positional notation in the quipu's khipu decimal system, which hinges on knot position to denote place value; therefore a higher variability means more reading errors, rather than physical degradation of the strings.
