← HistoryDuring the construction of Mughal pietra dura, which limitation reduces design resolution?
A)Material grain size variation✓
B)Oxidation rates during lathing
C)Limited adhesive curing time
D)Sculptor skill transmission barriers
💡 Explanation
Maximum inlay detail depends on mineral grain size; finer grains permit higher resolution. Therefore, variations limit the smallest features, because differing grains interrupt continuous lines, rather than oxidation, adhesives, or inconsistent skills impairing resolution.
