History

Which consequence emerged when Mughal-era pietra dura encountered aggressive cleaning?

A)Dissolution of the anchoring mortar
B)Formation of new sulfate minerals
C)Acceleration of galvanic corrosion
D)Increased compressive stress on substrate

💡 Explanation

The dissolution of mortar occurs because acid-based cleaning agents chemically reacted with the lime in the mortar, leading to its disintegration; therefore, structural instability increased, rather than mineral formation which implies a different underlying mechanism.
