← HistoryWhich consequence emerged when Mughal-era pietra dura encountered aggressive cleaning?
A)Dissolution of the anchoring mortar✓
B)Formation of new sulfate minerals
C)Acceleration of galvanic corrosion
D)Increased compressive stress on substrate
💡 Explanation
The dissolution of mortar occurs because acid-based cleaning agents chemically reacted with the lime in the mortar, leading to its disintegration; therefore, structural instability increased, rather than mineral formation which implies a different underlying mechanism.
