← HistoryWhich outcome occurred due to damaged/decayed knotted strings undermining accurate Andean quipu interpretation?
A)Trade imbalances misunderstanding occur easily
B)Calendar synchronicity computation fails utterly
C)Royal proclamations understanding grew difficult
D)Record keeping interpretation becomes skewed✓
💡 Explanation
Inca quipu relied on knot data as memory aids, numerical inventories; incorrect *data encoding* arose because lost/damaged cords compromised decipherment. So record’s interpretations warped, rather than trade errors/calendar dysfunction because primarily numerical/chronological, respectively.
