B)Accelerated uniform surface discoloration
C)Reduced structural load bearing capacity
D)Increased susceptibility to acid damage

Differential thermal expansion causes tesserae debonding via adhesive shear, because materials expand at various rates. Therefore, inlay loss occurs, rather than overall color change or direct structural effects, even though acid rain can degrade the mortar.
