Which risk increases when a large astrolabe's alidade sighting vane becomes warped?

A)Observer parallax visual error increases
B)Planetary orbital calculations are simplified
C)Celestial sphere measurements stay precise
D)Ecliptic coordinate accuracy is unaffected

💡 Explanation

Warped alidades causes increased observer parallax because angular measurements are skewed therefore precise angular readings cannot be observed, rather than maintaining accuracy as warping introduces systematic errors.
