← HistoryDuring the Byzantine silk production boom, which risk increased due to limited climate control?
A)Greater reliance on inferior dyes
B)Increased susceptibility to mold growth✓
C)More costly imported equipment upkeep
D)Lower silkworm cocoon processing yields
💡 Explanation
Higher temperatures and humidity common in unsophisticated climactic control led to increased susceptible to mold growth during silk production utilizing enzyme activity, impacting thread strength; therefore, fungal contamination risk emerged, rather than inferior dyes or lower cocoon yield, which derive from other processing failures.
