← HistoryWhich degradation accelerates within Mughal pietra dura in fountains when subject to frequent wetting?
A)Differential salt crystallization pressure✓
B)Increased bioturbation from microorganisms
C)Accelerated thermal expansion mismatch
D)Localized galvanic corrosion activity
💡 Explanation
Saltwater intrusion increases because frequent saturation facilitates salt migration into pores; thus, differential salt crystallization pressure degrades the decorative inlay. This outcome occurs, rather than expansion mismatch concentrating stress at bonding interfaces under thermal variations.
