Which consequence occurs when misalignment error arises in astrolabe scales?

A)Incorrect celestial altitude measurement
B)Overestimation of planetary orbital speed
C)Accelerated corrosion of brass components
D)Fracture of the rete pointer arm

💡 Explanation

Incorrect altitude readings occur because parallax error, a form of alignment skew during observation causes Angular Displacement on graduated scales, therefore inducing calculation errors, rather than physical damage and wouldn't significantly alter speed differently.
