Which risk increases for pietra dura in Mughal gardens when exposed to constant direct sunlight?

💡 Explanation

Differential thermal expansion induces stress because heat causes varying expansion rates in the different inlaid stones. This increase in stress leads to cracking; therefore, structural integrity is jeopardized rather than simpler mortar drying or biological activity alone.
