B)Faster meridian sundial construction
C)Simpler vertical sundial adjustments
D)Less complex horizontal sundial marking
💡 Explanation
More accurate Qibla determination became possible because minimizing parallax errors through improved instrumentation lead to increased precision via triangulation. Therefore, alignment to Mecca improved, rather than altering sundial mechanics, which still rely on shadow tracking principles.
