Question
History

Which limitation arose when using highly complex astrolabes?

A)Increased manufacturing error propagation
B)Reduced high latitude calculation
C)Limited solar alignment usability
D)Lower material thermal expansion resistance

💡 Explanation

Increased surface markings elevated error propagation because each alignment, dependent on previous settings, accumulated inaccuracies causing results to drift further from actual values; therefore, simpler designs were sometimes preferred rather than maximizing features.
