Which challenge complicates siege tower use in ancient Mesopotamia?

A)Soil compaction beneath supporting rollers
B)Brittle wood splintering from siege boulders
C)Unstable foundations sinking in mud
D)Rope fraying on abrasive masonry

💡 Explanation

Siege towers required stable ground for mobility; soil liquefaction causes towers to sink, reducing maneuverability, because the saturation increases pore pressure, therefore the towers become immovable, rather than the others because soil strength decreases.
