← HistoryWhich risk increased for Inca record keepers when famine coincided with quipu damage?
A)Erroneous resource distribution decisions✓
B)Increased ritual sacrifice frequency
C)Rebellion among conquered populations
D)Royal lineage succession disputes rise
💡 Explanation
Misinterpretation rises under stress because the quipu served as the sole long-term memory during famines. The damaged Encoding fidelity leads to inaccurate resource data; therefore decisions are flawed, rather than direct social upheaval unless the resource allocations themselves become evidently corrupt or unfair.
