← HistoryWhich limit increased the difficulty of pietra dura compositions in many Mughal-era gardens?
A)Structural settling of the foundations✓
B)Seasonal shifting of stone tiles
C)Thermal expansion of mosaic layers
D)Water damage to delicate materials
💡 Explanation
Structural settling complicated design, limiting heavier pietra dura features, because differential soil compression induced cracking through rigid inlays acting as stress concentrators, therefore simpler designs, rather than elaborate, reduced long-term failures given the foundation limitations.
