← HistoryWhich risk rises when varying stone properties undermine Mughal pietra dura inlay?
A)Differential thermal expansion fractures emerge✓
B)Capillary action dissolves binding mortars
C)Seismic resonance amplifies structural stress
D)Eutrophication accelerates biological growth
💡 Explanation
Differential thermal expansion becomes problematic because the varied expansion coefficients induce strain at interfaces, leading to cracking, therefore structural integrity degrades rather than chemical or biological processes.
