Which risk increases when surface pressure exceeds material yield strength surrounding 'pietra dura' inlay in Mughal-era structures?

💡 Explanation

Accelerated creep occurs when the material undergoes sustained stress, resulting in slow, permanent deformation due to increased pressure. This is because increased grain boundary SLIDING allows materials to flow under sustained stress. Therefore, creep accelerates, rather than passivation, fouling or grain changes which happen under different conditions.
