← HistoryWhich risk increased when medieval pavers switched uneven surfaces?
A)Quicker collapse bridges suspension.
B)Greater rope fray points wear.
C)Heightened sag mid-span bridge.
D)Increased longship haulage friction.✓
💡 Explanation
A stone's irregular surface results in increased friction; it is a mechanical contact that causes a Drag exacerbation. Therefore, longships experienced slower, more difficult land transport, rather than alternative bridge risks whose scenarios are caused through gravity tension or suspension design not related to haulage.
