← HistoryWhich outcome accelerated dye production variability following the introduction of sericulture within the Byzantine Empire?
A)Increased imported dye prices
B)Guild oversight intensification
C)Alum source mineral depletion
D)Mordant concentration inconsistencies✓
💡 Explanation
Inconsistent mordant concentrations arose because sericulture increased thread demand rapidly, leading to poorly controlled mordanting which affects dyeing results, therefore causing dye colour variability rather than systematic pigment sourcing, as mordants fix dyes.
