← HistoryWhich consequence results when Byzantine silk production’s raw input quality declines?
A)Weaker tensile strength textiles emerge✓
B)Reduced dye uptake from mordants
C)Faster filature reel unwinding
D)Increased sericin saponification efficiency
💡 Explanation
Lower-quality raw silk leads to inferior silk fibers used in production causing weaker fabric; the mechanism is fiber strength degradation because inferior initial silk structure makes textiles more brittle. Therefore tensile strength weakens, rather than changes affecting dyeing or finishing efficiencies.
