← HistoryWhich outcome occurs because of the use of 'coutes' on late Medieval plate iron armor?
A)Increased maneuverability of elbow joints✓
B)Reduced susceptibility to rust corrosion
C)Enhanced structural integrity of polearms
D)Improved dispersal pattern for gunpowder.

Coutes are elbow defenses; having articulated plates enables rotational movement, a mechanism improving joint mobility against a weapon; therefore, maneuverability increases rather than structural enhancement, because of focused articulation rather than blunt coverage.
