Which risk increases when relying only on inertial navigation during prolonged spaceflight?

A)Thruster misalignment remains undetected
B)Cumulative position error grows unboundedly
C)Radiation shielding becomes incrementally damaged
D)Life support systems exhibit entropy

💡 Explanation

Relying only on inertial navigation causes unbounded error growth because *drift error* accumulates, therefore a small constant error perpetually skews position; This occurs rather than bounded oscillation from external references.
