Which problem would arise when insufficient curing of lime plaster is employed during Mughal pietra dura work?

A)Cracking of the marble base
B)Discoloration of inlaid stones
C)Delamination of the pietra dura
D)Oxidation altering gemstone hues

💡 Explanation

The primary risk stemming from lime improperly curing is decreased adhesion; inadequate carbonation causes weaker Crystal Interlocking, therefore the inlaid stones would loosen and separate rather than discoloration which would arise from impure materials.
