← HistoryWhich outcome critically compromises production, when the 'purple dye monopoly' protecting Byzantine imperial silk experiences over-extraction?
A)Rivals develop Tyrian extraction
B)Process control becomes impossible
C)Color shifts to crimson shades✓
D)Dye molecular stability declines
💡 Explanation
Color shifts to crimson hues is the consequence; because over-extraction results in altered *chemical equilibrium* in the dye vats; therefore, a non-royal shade compromises its prestige rather than competitor extraction, when resource scarcity emerges.
