Which constraint limits the detail of 'pietra dura' inlay on Mughal monuments?

A)Material grain isotropy limits resolution
B)Seasonal humidity weakens mortar strength
C)Lack of skilled artisans increased cost
D)Transportation distance restricted stone choices

💡 Explanation

Material grain isotropy limits resolution of 'pietra dura' because non-isotropic grains fracture unpredictably during fine cutting. Therefore, intricate designs are harder to achieve, rather than logistical reasons, humidity effects or artisan availability alone being limiting factors.
