Which outcome resulted from humidity exposure corrupting quipu used to track resource allocation for Inca bridge maintenance?

💡 Explanation

Undetected weakening occurs, because decaying strings cause flawed *numerical encoding*, leading to misallocation of replacement materials; therefore, bridge elements failed due to increased *stress*, rather than planned maintenance, weakening sections that should have been repaired.
