← HistoryWhich outcome arises if freeze-thaw cycles disrupt the mortar supporting the pietra dura craftsmanship in historical Mughal garden fountains?
A)Increased chromatic aberration of stones
B)Accelerated allegorical narrative erosion
C)Detachment of delicate stone inlays✓
D)Impaired farsh-i arrangement translucence
💡 Explanation
Detachment occurs because water penetration expands during freezing, exerting pressure that overcomes the mortar's cohesive strength. This is a form of frost weathering, resulting in spalling of the stonework; therefore, the inlays come loose, rather than changes affecting optical narratives within or the underlying material.
