History

Which outcome resulted from using bronze to reinforce siege towers, rather than iron?

A)Greater height despite weaker joints
B)Faster cooling reducing stress
C)Increased likelihood of tower fires
D)Reduced tower collapse from rust

💡 Explanation

Reinforcing with bronze lead to increased likelihood of tower fires because bronze conducts heat more readily than iron, causing timbers to ignite rapidly, therefore towers became easily flammable; rather than offering structural reinforcement.
