Which outcome arises when fluctuating temperatures affect 'pietra dura' inlay within a Mughal-era monument?

💡 Explanation

Cracking appears because differential thermal expansion causes dissimilar materials to expand/contract at different rates, inducing stress along boundaries, therefore mechanical failure is the outcome, rather than uniform settling which necessitates uniform properties/behavior.
