← HistoryConsidering constraints in Byzantine shipbuilding, which risk increased when naphtha supplies experienced unexpected variations during Greek fire preparation?
A)Bronze nozzle corrosion rate surges
B)Structural weakness from wood charring✓
C)Oxides form in bronze alloys
D)Mortars lose key structural adhesion
💡 Explanation
Unstable naphtha burning creates fire control issues; incomplete combustion creates heat flux onto ships because increased soot deposition raises radiative and conductive heat transfer, subsequently embrittling wood, therefore charring risk increases rather than corrosion which demands alternative conditions.
