History

Which consequence followed Byzantium's restricted silk worm export?

A)Loss of naval trade routes
B)Decrease of the empire's territory
C)Increased reliance on Frankish steel
D)Development of foreign textile industries

💡 Explanation

Restricting silkworm exports enabled silk SAMPLING and cultivation elsewhere, because other regions acquired the biological material; therefore, industries developed in Persia and Italy, rather than Byzantium maintaining an exclusive trade monopoly.
