← HistoryWhich risk increased for the Inca empire when quipu use decayed?
A)Hydraulic pressure exceeds aqueduct design
B)Decreased crop yield from erosion
C)Road network maintenance inefficiency rises
D)Inaccurate resource allocation decisions increase✓
💡 Explanation
Without quipu records, the empire's complex administration relied on less accurate methods, so Input-Output Accounting failed. Mismanagement of resource flow increased, therefore resource allocation declined. Efficient resource management was crucial rather than physical infrastructure vulnerabilities.
