← HistoryWhich limitation primarily influenced the visual detail achievable within Mughal-era pietra dura mosaics?
A)Material hardness limited cutting precision✓
B)Geometrical optics distorted images
C)Pigment fading altered color schemes
D)Grout composition increased cracking risks
💡 Explanation
Material hardness directly impacts the precision available with abrasive cutting, determining the sharpness of inlaid designs, because a friable stone prohibits fine, detailed work utilizing abrasive slurry; therefore, the mosaic lacks higher resolution rather than succumbing other issues during installation and exposure.
