A)Decreased hydraulic gradient efficiency
B)Agricultural resource allocation imbalance✓
C)Compromised alloy bronze composition
D)Tension cable suspension bridge sag
💡 Explanation
Agricultural output in the Inca empire relied on the quipu record-keeping system; an inaccurate quipu resulted in resource misallocation because the encoded information affected farming rather than gradient or alloy rather than cables; therefore creating imbalance.
