← HistoryWhich 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.
