← HistoryWhich consequence would emerge if Byzantine silk dyeing deviated toward cheaper mineral mordants?
A)Increased sericulture breeding difficulty
B)Decreased colorfastness following washing✓
C)Strengthened trade monopoly protection
D)Enhanced fiber alignment uniformity
💡 Explanation
Decreasing the silk's reliance toward biological mordents causes a diminishment in hydrogen bonding between dye and fiber. Therefore, wash resistance is lower, rather than other trade advantages, because mordants ensure dye adheres to textile molecules through strong links.
