Which outcome arises when naphtha’s early distillation lacked full refinement, impacting Byzantine Greek fire’s deployment?

💡 Explanation

Unstable burn rate results due to incomplete separation of volatile components resulting in erratic reactions, which is fractional distillation. This causes surge or sputter during projection, therefore a less predictable attack, rather than consistent targeted impacts.
