Which consequence arises when naphtha destabilization affected 'Greek fire'?

💡 Explanation

Uncontrolled naphtha destabilization modified the flame’s burning behavior impacting its adhesion; hence, fire spread rapidly, because uncontrolled reactions produce volatile byproducts. Therefore, fire jumps containment, rather than adhering normally, because destabilized mixture has lower viscosity.
