During the medieval era, which risk increased in densely populated Chinese cities adopting gunpowder weapons against defensive walls?

A)Accelerated corrosion of wrought-iron components

B)Increased incidents of accidental deflagration✓

C)Sudden structural failure due to liquefaction

D)Thermal stress causing metal embrittlement

💡 Explanation

Accidental deflagration risk increased as gunpowder production scaled to meet weapon demand because poor quality control yielded inconsistent mixtures, and therefore unintentional ignition during handling, storage, rather than fatigue or corrosion induced solely by weapon use.
