← HistoryWhich risk increased as larger complex quipu-based datasets managed Inca agricultural storage?
A)Increased thermal material storage losses
B)Increased solar quipu knot degradation
C)Increased potential numerical data corruption✓
D)Increased volcanic soil acid destabilization
💡 Explanation
Larger quipu records amplified numerical data corruption during encoding/decoding because manual Khipucamayuq (specialist) transcription introduced errors and potential misunderstandings. Therefore data integrity worsened, rather than physical quipu or agricultural conditions being the primary cause.
