Which unintended consequence arose when early silk production techniques diffused Westward out of China?

💡 Explanation

Localized silk workshops lacked centralized Chinese fireproofing. Because sericulture processes concentrated flammable materials in single locations, increased fire risk due to rapid flame propagation (fire triangle) grew, therefore risk increased, rather than the other options, which are largely design choices or side effects.
