Which irrigation effect occurred on Inca agricultural terraces due to daytime solar heating?

💡 Explanation

Crop transpiration stress elevates because daytime soil heating increases evaporation, overwhelming plant uptake; this mechanism of soil moisture depletion leads to water stress. Therefore, option C is correct, rather than enhanced moisture uniformity or boosted infiltration, factors worsened under direct sunlight.
