← HistoryWhich risk increased most acutely when late Byzantine silk workshops elongated fibers during textile production?
A)Increased tensile strength reduction
B)Lowered resistance to dye uptake
C)Greater susceptibility to tearing✓
D)Heightened processing energy needed
💡 Explanation
The susceptibility to tearing increased because fiber elongation induced excessive molecular orientation causing lower transverse strength via the transverse isotropy mechanism; therefore, tear propagation became easier, rather than improving fiber strength properties or handling dyes more effectively.
