A)Inaccurate celestial angular measurement✓
B)Damage to delicate instrument parts
C)Excessive wear on the alidade
D)Melted metals from frictional heat
💡 Explanation
Inaccurate direction finding results because incorrect algebraic manipulation during calculations affects the *geometric projection* of celestial coordinates; therefore, angular measurements will be skewed, rather than causing physical damage or wear.
