← HistoryWhich outcome resulted when trebuchets catapulted beehives during siege?
A)Fire risk becomes drastically increased
B)Tunneling effectiveness gets immediately negated
C)Morale among defenders sharply collapsed
D)Defenders' combat effectiveness temporarily decreased✓
💡 Explanation
Reduced combat effectiveness occurs because bee venom and stings provided a temporary biological weapon via envenomation; therefore, defenders experienced localized pain/swelling rather than structurally weakening tunnels. Catapulting hives caused distraction, not an outright fire.
