History

Which 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.
