A)Quantifiable data entry variations appeared✓
B)Geographic position misunderstandings occurred
C)Astronomical alignment details blurred
D)Ceremonial timing information grew skewed
💡 Explanation
Quantifiable data entry variations appeared in Incan quipu record-keeping due to transcription errors called numerical drift, because the **serial position effect** produced more errors when operators transcribed relayed data; therefore the total numbers were imperfect across chasquis, rather than other forms of information distortion.
