← HistoryWhich manufacturing outcome increased sharply during Byzantine controlled silk production when sericulture adapted to include hybrid silkworm breeding?
A)Improved fiber tensile strength
B)Higher raw silk yield✓
C)Deeper color retention
D)Increased thread uniformity
💡 Explanation
Hybrid silkworm breeding increased pupae mass, greatly raising raw silk yield because heterosis caused faster larval growth and larger silk glands; therefore the silk production quantity increased, rather than intrinsic silk tensile strength.
