← HistoryDuring Song Dynasty warfare, which consequence resulted when gunpowder's electrostatic desensitization was inadequately addressed?
A)Decreased cast iron cannon barrel life
B)Premature discharge events increased risks✓
C)Greater fluctuations propellant burn rate
D)Inconsistent crossbow bolt trajectory arose
💡 Explanation
Sparks could ignite the gunpowder prematurely if electrostatic charge accumulated on black powder before sufficient electrical grounding became widespread; therefore, hazardous premature discharge occurred, rather than trajectory errors or slower-burning propellants, that had less dependency on electrostatic effects.
