← HistoryWhich defense declined in effectiveness as trade routes shifted, against the original Byzantine Greek fire?
A)Naval bombardment proficiency degraded
B)Fire projection distances decreased
C)Defense locations became circumventable✓
D)Formulation materials access weakened
💡 Explanation
Circumvention increased, because defense relied on controlling specific sea lanes. The shifting of trade routes enabled enemies to bypass established Greek Fire deployment zones, therefore geographic control diminished its protective effect, rather than formulation, distance, or firing proficiency itself.
