← HistoryWhich consequence arose in Justinian-era silk production when sericulture secretly incorporated lower-quality silkworm eggs?
A)Reduced dyeing process efficiency
B)Elevated production of uneven threads✓
C)Increased silk fabric strength
D)Decreased cost of raw materials
💡 Explanation
Using inferior silkworm eggs affected the Spin Mechanism responsible for silk quality; lower egg diminished silk uniformity. Therefore, lower-quality silk was produced, rather than stronger fabrics, superior dye uptake, or reduced costs, because filament quality dictates evenness.
