← HistoryWhich operational challenge increased when Greek fire ignition failed at sea?
A)Reduced Byzantine naval combat range
B)Increased spread vessel-to-vessel incendiary hazard✓
C)Diminished morale among naval troops
D)Slower re-ignition of naval sulfur stores
💡 Explanation
Failed ignition meant un-combusted Greek fire ingredients leaked, increasing `Pyrolysis`, because these components remained highly flammable; therefore secondary conflagrations were higher rather than direct flame projection which reduces collateral fire spread.
