← HistoryWhich maintenance approach prolonged Roman roads using small continuously working repair teams (conductores)?
A)Proactive patching of superficial cracks✓
B)Seasonal resurfacing of entire road sections
C)Emergency repair of major damage only
D)Periodic reconstruction after significant wear
💡 Explanation
When minor road damage occurred frequently, proactive patching maintained structural integrity by addressing small issues before they worsened requiring larger repairs. Therefore proactive patching resulted, rather than resurfacing, major repair only or periodic reconstruction, because these are reactive only.
