← HistoryWhich risk increases when Inca record keepers misinterpret quipu?
A)Compromised agricultural yield estimates✓
B)Increased structural stress on bridges
C)Reduced gold purity during smelting
D)Decreased aerodynamic lift of textiles
💡 Explanation
Inaccuracies are possible because AGRICULTURAL PLANNING depended directly on the recorded yields via information storage. In this way, quipu transcription ERRORS lead to misallocation of resources, therefore compromising food distribution, rather than causing direct structural failure because bridges rely mostly on empirical observations.
