← HistoryWhich 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.
