← HistoryWhich consequence resulted from errors in translating information recorded on quipu used for managing Inca terrace farming?
A)Unpredicted crop yield fluctuations occur✓
B)Increased risk of flash flooding
C)Decline soil nutrient mineralization
D)Imprecise astronomical calculations arose
💡 Explanation
Inaccurate data entry affects agricultural resource allocation; misreading the *decimal recording system* on knotted strings led to improper timing in planting and harvesting. This is because planting was based data, therefore crop cycles became suboptimal rather than efficient, and reduced overall yields.
