← HistoryWhich error emerges when incorrect knot spacing affects numerical data encoded in an Inca quipu?
A)Skewed resource distribution estimates✓
B)Catalytic degradation of textile fibers
C)Amplified acoustic wave interference
D)Resonant vibration instability onset
💡 Explanation
The Inca employed quipu using varying knot types and spacing, to numerically record data; faulty data representation stemming from incorrect knot placement during encoding induces skewed resource distrubution estimates because it changes numerical values, therefore affecting accounting, rather than fiber degradation.
