← HistoryWhich eventual outcome of environmental exposure affects durability of the Mughal gardens' dura inlay artifacts?
A)Differential thermal expansion cracking✓
B)Uniform surface abrasion from cleaning
C)Oxidative dissolution of binding mortar
D)Complete loss of protective topcoat
💡 Explanation
Cracking from differential thermal expansion occurs because varying stone types expand/contract at different rates during daily temperature swings; therefore gaps form and water penetrates, rather than uniform wear which takes far longer under normal circumstances.
