← HistoryWhich outcome accelerates damage accumulation to Mughal pietra dura when moisture is present?
A)Capillary action within stone increases✓
B)Thermal stresses increase stone fractures
C)Abrasion from wind gains severity
D)Oxidation discolors sensitive inlay
💡 Explanation
The outcome is faster material break-down because increased capillary action within porous stones leads to SALT HYDRATION, where salt crystals expand inside pores. Therefore, stone spalls more rapidly, rather than fracture solely due to thermal stress.
