History

Which outcome followed the Song Dynasty's discovery of coke fueled iron smelting?

A)Greater explosive yield for gunpowder
B)Increased precision in complex clockwork
C)Standardized dimensions of cast iron tools
D)Reduced atmospheric sulfur dioxide levels

💡 Explanation

Coke lessened sulfur contamination in the iron because it became ideal for advanced artillery (cannons that required higher quality powders); therefore gunpowder formulations scaled significantly, rather than sulfur removal increasing or precision improving.
