History

Which risk increases when a Roman fort's wooden palisade rots?

A)Wall destabilization and collapse occurs
B)Decreased visibility of approaching enemies
C)Compromised defensive fire effectiveness
D)Susceptibility to siege weapon penetration

💡 Explanation

Increased flooding occurs because ground contact promotes **biological decomposition**, weakening timber; therefore, the palisade is structurally unsound, rather than offering reduced visibility initially, but it will eventually collapse and the walls won't be supported.
