← HistoryWhich collapse consequence increased significantly with medieval rope bridges?
A)Increased vulnerability to arson attacks✓
B)Localized flooding due to debris
C)Hindered large-scale army movements
D)Heightened risk of seasonal washout
💡 Explanation
Arson vulnerability greatly increases as the primary structural support utilizes flammable materials; therefore, rope bridges made movement riskier because a single attacker could sever the bridge, rather than larger-scale material damage that could cause structural degradation over time.
