← HistoryWhich outcome was enhanced when mariners used the Kamal?
A)Celestial position angular resolution✓
B)Local apparent time calculation
C)Ship's draught hydrodynamic stability
D)Sail-making textile strength analysis
💡 Explanation
Kamal navigation involves aligning a string with stars; therefore, the increased distance improves celestial position angular resolution due to parallax reduction, rather than directly aiding in calculating timekeeping, hull stability, or sail manufacture like other possible alternatives.
