Which outcome results when wooden siege towers approached walled cities?

A)Torsion catapult projectile trajectory shift
B)Fire spreading via convection heating
C)Counterweight trebuchet launch angle increase
D)Ballista bolt penetration depth reduction

💡 Explanation

Advancing wooden siege towers faced the risk of fire, because defending forces would launch flaming projectiles causing rapid combustion via convection heating. Therefore, fire spreading is the outcome, rather than trajectory shifts or reduced penetration caused by adjusted weapon parameters.
