← HistoryWhich outcome occurred when Mughal garden subsurface drains became blocked?
A)Accelerated pietra dura deterioration emerged✓
B)Decreased water table well yield
C)Increased evaporative cooling performance
D)Improved structural soil stability rose
💡 Explanation
Blocked drains increased soil salinity due evapotranspiration because capillary action drew salts to the surface. Therefore, increased salt exposure accelerated the deterioration of the delicate, inlaid pietra dura, rather than other effects like increased stability.
