← HistoryWhich outcome occurs when early Mesopotamian bronze alloy exhibits *selective leaching*?
A)Decreased artifact structural integrity✓
B)Enhanced decorative artifact coloration
C)Increased casting mold degradation
D)Improved tool cutting-edge sharpness
💡 Explanation
Selective leaching weakens the bronze because zinc preferentially corrodes, leaving a porous, copper-rich structure; therefore, structural integrity decreases rather than sharpens, degrades molds, or changes color due to superficial corrosion.
