← HistoryWhich consequence arises when naphtha destabilization affected 'Greek fire'?
A)Increased pressure within bronze siphons
B)Uncontrollable spread of the flames✓
C)Decrease in siege tower targeting
D)Rapid consumption by seawater dilution
💡 Explanation
Uncontrolled naphtha destabilization modified the flame’s burning behavior impacting its adhesion; hence, fire spread rapidly, because uncontrolled reactions produce volatile byproducts. Therefore, fire jumps containment, rather than adhering normally, because destabilized mixture has lower viscosity.
