Which outcome results when seasonal temperature cycling acts on Mughal structures featuring extensive pietra dura inlay using gypsum plaster?

💡 Explanation

Differential thermal expansion causes cracking because the stones and surrounding plaster expand and contract at different rates with temperature; therefore, inlay detaches, rather than uniform integrity because stresses concentrate at interfaces during temperature fluctuations.
