Which issue occurs when high thermal expansion mismatch exists in inlaid stone?

A)Accelerated freeze-thaw weathering occurs
B)Electromagnetic interference significantly increases
C)Catalytic oxidation accelerates reaction rates
D)Erosion from biogenic acids accelerates itself

💡 Explanation

Severe fracturing accelerates as a result of linear thermal expansion, because daily thermal cycles lead to differential stress near boundaries through thermal cycling. The increased cracking admits more water, therefore the freeze-thaw weathering increases much faster, rather than uniform erosion by other factors.
