← HistoryWhich long-term consequence results when the Mughal pietra dura inlay technique omits sulfur?
A)Reduced structural integrity of the arch
B)Accelerated corrosion of iron supports
C)Decreased optical clarity of lenses
D)Increased vulnerability to bio-deterioration✓
💡 Explanation
Omission of sulfur during the Mughal technique disrupts the Calcium Sulfide biocide that normally inhibits microbial colonization; therefore, without sulfur, the materials become more vulnerable to bio-deterioration specifically from damaging organisms; rather than resisting them by inhibiting their growth.
