In the Inca empire, which risk increased when the quipu (knotted string records) decayed physically under damp conditions?

💡 Explanation

Taxation records depended entirely on quipu; a deterioration would lead to irrecoverable data loss. Erroneous assessment occurs because the Encoding Integrity Loss mechanism compromised recording accuracy, therefore revenue collection became inconsistent rather than reliable planning, because tribute was tracked as labor obligation.
