← HistoryWhich outcome directly resulted from optimizing hydraulic terracing systems by the Inca civilization?
A)Decreased slope instability occurrence✓
B)Increased soil nutrient depletion
C)Reduced crop genetic diversity
D)Enhanced inter-community water conflicts
💡 Explanation
Decreased slope instability on terraces resulted from controlled water flow, because *dissipation of energy* prevented erosion, therefore, land stability increased rather than leading to resource driven conflict from system failure.
