← HistoryWhich structural consequence arose during periods of reduced Mughal garden maintenance, potentially damaging delicate pietra dura inlays?
A)Increased hydrostatic pressure on foundations
B)Accelerated thermal fatigue cracking
C)Localized subsidence from uneven drainage✓
D)Uniform soil expansion from saturation
💡 Explanation
Localized subsidence occurs due to shifts in waterlogged soil. This differential movement stresses structures because loss of drainage control leads to uneven soil settling. Therefore, the stresses lead to cracking, rather than uniform effects from pressure or temperature.
