Which risk increases in Inca suspension bridges during high winds?

A)Deck oscillations become catastrophic
B)Quipu communication systems fail
C)Stone anchor slippage intensifies
D)Rope deterioration accelerates locally

💡 Explanation

Catastrophic deck oscillations become likely because high winds induce a resonance effect, a form of forced vibration with increasing amplitudes. Therefore, the bridge loses structural integrity rather than other localized failures that would occur under static loads. .
