← HistoryWhich result followed from employing siphonarii during sieges?
A)Reduced structural load instability
B)Rapid fire projectile propulsion✓
C)Accelerated oxidation-reduction reactions
D)Lowered ceramic fragmentation risk
💡 Explanation
Greek fire, a Byzantine weapon, used siphonarii to spray flammable liquid. The rapid fire projectile propulsion mechanism caused devastation because pressurized containers ejected fire which ignited targets, therefore providing an offensive advantage, rather than structural stabilization or reactions.
