← HistoryWhich consequence emerged when early bronze mirrors tarnished?
A)Increased reflection from oxide coating
B)Image distortion decreased aesthetics
C)Frequent polishing consumed artisans' time✓
D)Bronze mirrors increased structural stability
💡 Explanation
Tarnishing occurs due to oxidation of bronze, a chemical reaction, forming a dull surface layer; continual polishing via Abrasive Wear removed this layer, therefore prolonged mirror life became heavily dependent on artisan's efforts rather than inherent permanence.
