← HistoryWhich consequence arises when attempting to solve under-constrained geometrical problems using only Alhazen's algebraic methods?
A)Inaccurate optical path calculation
B)Overestimation lens grinding duration
C)Unrealistic structural load distribution
D)Indeterminate or multiple solutions✓
💡 Explanation
Multiple solutions arise from insufficient constraints because algebra provides solution sets, rather than a single unique result in such cases; therefore the calculation yields ambiguity or non-uniqueness, rather than a specifically incorrect single value.
