← HistoryWhich outcome results when seasonal ground movement affects subsurface water channels supplying Mughal garden fountains that feature intricate pietra dura?
A)Reduced fountain water pressure
B)Inlay stone discoloration over time✓
C)Increased channel water turbidity
D)Altered aquatic plant-life balance
💡 Explanation
Inlay stone discoloration occurs because mineral-laden water incurs capillary action through cracks formed due to ground movement. This process causes mineral deposition or staining within the pietra dura, therefore discoloring it, rather than affecting water pressure or turbidity.
