During fluvial flooding events affecting Mughal-era gardens using pietra dura inlay, which deterioration process accelerates due to repeated saturation?

💡 Explanation

Inlay delamination increases with fluctuating saturation conditions because salt crystallization (haloclasty) generates pressure within pores resulting in increased fracturing; therefore the damage accelerates rather than from oxidization or bio-proliferation which contribute a lesser effect.
