Which consequence results when an astrolabe's plate warps?

A)Inaccurate altitude-azimuth star measurements
B)Fractured rete indicator alignment
C)Increased alidade arm static friction
D)Elevated corrosive de-zincification process

💡 Explanation

Warping of the plate within an astrolabe changes angular relationships between celestial points because it distorts the stereographic *projection*, therefore azimuthal altitude interpretations are skewed rather than physical damage; alternatives involve separate failure modes.
