History

Which advantage occurred during a siege of a medieval castle because improved mortar was used in the high stone walls?

A)Increased resistance to undermining
B)Enhanced arrow slit effectiveness
C)Faster gatehouse raising speed
D)Elevated observation post height

💡 Explanation

Increased mortar strength creates resistance to undermining because improved cohesion reduces fracturing rates under stress. Therefore, attacks were less effective against the base rather than affecting visibility from observation elevation.
