History

Which outcome occurs when humidity increases during sericulture?

A)Weakened silk thread strength
B)Enhanced silkworm cocoon spinning
C)Accelerated dye absorption rates
D)Increased silk moth egg hatching

💡 Explanation

Weakened silk thread occurs because increased humidity softens the silk fibroin via hydrogen bonding alteration; therefore, the filaments become more fragile rather than supporting enhanced thread strength, because the water disrupts the protein structure.
