← HistoryWhich outcome occurs at coastal Roman fortress walls during prolonged naval sieges that prevents resupply?
A)Wall mortar erodes mechanically
B)Reinforcements suffer attrition delays✓
C)Scuttle valves become obstructed
D)Ballista range becomes ineffective
💡 Explanation
Reinforcement attrition increases, occurring via logistical blockade. Supply routes are severed until resupply becomes untenable during the *attrition warfare* mechanism, because enemy ships interdict supply lines. Therefore defenders become critically undersupplied, rather than wall degradation or mechanical failures occurring as key factors.
