← HistoryWithin Mughal gardens employing intricate 'pietra dura', which risk escalates disproportionately when unfiltered river water feeds the fountain system?
A)Erosion of marble facing increases
B)Increased algae bio-fouling results
C)Dissolution of mortar joints accelerates
D)Dura inlay discoloration intensifies✓
💡 Explanation
Hard particulates in unfiltered water abrade delicate 'pietra dura' inlay because erosion amplifies light scattering (Tyndall effect); therefore, discoloration rapidly increases, rather than merely incrementing algae or general material erosion evenly across the system.
