← HistoryWithin Mughal gardens using pietra dura, which consequence results from excessive water evaporation?
A)Staining of marble surfaces occurs✓
B)Hydraulic lock in water channels
C)Subsidence within foundational structures
D)Discoloration affects inlaid gemstones
💡 Explanation
Excessive evaporation drives mineral salt deposition onto porous material because capillary action pulls dissolved solids to the surface causing efflorescence. Therefore, surface staining increases, rather than directly causing gemstone changes or structural issues; hydraulic pressure is also not relevant.
