History

Which consequence faced medieval stone castles designed without crenellations?

A)Siege ladder surmounting becomes easier
B)Wall structural rigidity significantly increases
C)Stone deterioration from weathering slows
D) defenders' morale always declines

💡 Explanation

The absence of crenellations, or embrasures, increased the vulnerabilities because their alternating high and low sections provided defense. The increased exposure allows attackers to readily deploy Siege ladders; therefore, surmounting becomes easier, rather than seeing increased protection via other fortifications.
