← HistoryWhich outcome decreases vessel hull integrity when insufficient seasoning?
A)Increased susceptibility to fungal decay✓
B)Enhanced resistance against marine borers
C)Augmented protection against saltwater ingress
D)Decreased vulnerability to mechanical stresses
💡 Explanation
Fungal decay risk increases because incomplete seasoning retains excess moisture in lumber, fueling rapid microbial wood consumption through decomposition, therefore, decreasing overall strength, rather than increased resistance because treatment against borers demands well-seasoned timber.
