Which outcome results when the weight increases beyond acceptable limits, within a hypothetical multiple-tiered Roman aqueduct?

💡 Explanation

Arch keystone slippage occurs due to exceeding pressure limits; exceeding its load limit induces deformation via compressive stress overcomes friction. Therefore, A is proper failure mode, rather than turbulence issues related to hydraulics or expansion which could affect all tier structures under specific local conditions.
