← HistoryWhich outcome results from excessive moisture permeating traditional Mughal buildings that feature intricate pietra dura inlay?
A)Discoloration of the inlays✓
B)Increased structural rigidity
C)Enhanced pietra dura luster
D)Improved thermal insulation
💡 Explanation
Moisture intrusion initiates a salt migration process due to capillary action, leading to efflorescence and staining which obscures the intricate pietra dura designs; therefore, the inlays become discolored, rather than enhanced or providing increased rigidity because the mechanism weakens the mortar.
