Which potential result existed when Mughal emperor Shah Jahan reduced Jama Masjid’s minaret height?

💡 Explanation

The wind load against the minarets was high, resulting in increased structural stress from shear forces; shortening them reduced the surface area causing this force because the structure had less area exposed to the winds; therefore, reducing structural failure rather than improving earthquake resistance.
