← HistoryWhich consequence resulted from the undermining of fortifications during a siege?
A)Catapult effectiveness was enhanced
B)Wall structural integrity failed✓
C)Ramp construction becomes faster
D)Tower visibility was improved
💡 Explanation
Undermining caused Wall structural integrity to fail through soil removal. The principle of Arch construction creates structural support; therefore, undermining destabilized arches. This leads to localized collapse, rather than improved weapon effectiveness or ramp construction advantages.
