Which outcome occurs in Song Dynasty military rockets when imperfect gunpowder granulation lowers burn rate?

💡 Explanation

Decreased burn rate provides non-uniform thrust causing decreased trajectory control due to thrust vectoring error. This suboptimal combustion results in less predictable forces, because rockets depend on consistent thrust to maintain a stable flight path; therefore, option B is correct, rather than greater stability.
