History

Which 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.
