Which consequence arises when insufficient leveling causes foundation settling within the Taj Mahal's plinth?

💡 Explanation

Uneven settling alters ground level, creating variable water depth, because differential sinkage compromises hydrostatic equilibrium leading to asymmetric surface height. Therefore, reflection pool depths are altered, rather than structural minaret issues if settling speed differs across support zones.
