← HistoryDuring fluvial flooding events affecting Mughal-era gardens using pietra dura inlay, which deterioration process accelerates due to repeated saturation?
A)Accelerated biofouling proliferation
B)Differential coefficient of thermal expansion
C)Increased delamination via salt crystallization✓
D)Reduced catalytic oxidation resistance
💡 Explanation
Inlay delamination increases with fluctuating saturation conditions because salt crystallization (haloclasty) generates pressure within pores resulting in increased fracturing; therefore the damage accelerates rather than from oxidization or bio-proliferation which contribute a lesser effect.
