← HistoryWhich outcome resulted from improved naphtha purification's flammability in Byzantine flamethrowers?
A)Increased range and projection✓
B)Dense noxious smoke generation
C)Decreased barrel material corrosion
D)Simplified pressurized fuel ignition
💡 Explanation
Greater purity of naphtha allowed the Byzantine Greek Fire to project significantly farther due to its more effective combustion and thus enhanced release of kinetic energy. Therefore longer ranges were achieved, rather than a focus on creating less corrosion or more convenient ignition methods.
