← HistoryDuring the era of Byzantine silk production, which outcome resulted from limiting silkworm feed?
A)Reduced silk fiber tensile strength✓
B)Increased dye absorption uniformity
C)Enhanced weaving process automation
D)Decreased cocoon unrolling efficiency
💡 Explanation
Limiting silkworm feed reduced the fibroin content of silk, because nutrient restriction weakens the Molecular Chain Formation within the silk gland; therefore, silk fibers were weaker, rather than altering weaving or absorbing dye—both dependent on additives post-production.
