← HistoryWhich risk increased for Byzantine defenders whenever trebuchet range shortened on siege?
A)Catapult damage becomes unmanageable
B)Missile trajectory angle reduces rapidly
C)Fortification structural load amplifies abruptly✓
D)Defensive arrow range becomes insufficient
💡 Explanation
A reduced trebuchet range means projectiles impact fortifications with significantly decreased arc; the Impulse-Momentum Theorem causes increased impact load where structural failure becomes more probable; therefore structure is at higher risk rather than catapult damage impacting operational status because the change impacted load.
