History

Which challenge frequently arose for Byzantine navy ships employing Greek fire?

A)Premature nozzle blockage from deposits
B)Inconsistent fuel mixture viscosity
C)Insufficient bellows oxygen supply
D)Unreliable ignition during heavy rain

💡 Explanation

Premature nozzle blockage often hindered Greek fire weaponry because rapid carbonization created solid deposits during ejection; the thermal decomposition mechanism obstructed the flow. Therefore, consistent firing was problematic rather than environmental factors, impacting combustion or simple fluid dynamics.
