← HistoryWhich outcome occurs when the sericulture temperature in the Byzantine Empire fluctuates strongly?
A)Lower silk thread strength occurs✓
B)Greater dye uptake is guaranteed
C)Increased silkworm disease resistance
D)Higher trade revenue automatically occurs
💡 Explanation
Weaker silk results because rapid cooling induces premature Filament Solidification; a crystallization mechanism within the silkworm's silk glands results in uneven fiber formation impacting tensile strength. Therefore, less durable silk is produced, rather than more disease resistance affecting the pupae.
