← HistoryWithin the maristan (early Islamic hospital) observatories, which risk increased when physicians misapplied observed astronomical data?
A)Incorrect timing religious practices
B)Suboptimal irrigation canal maintenance
C)Faulty celestial navigation calculations
D)Inaccurate astrological medical diagnoses✓
💡 Explanation
In maristans, astrology influenced medicine because physicians made diagnoses based on astral events; therefore, flawed astronomy led to misapplied astrological influence, resulting in incorrect diagnoses, rather than affecting irrigation, navigation, or religious timing.
