Which consequence occurred frequently in early Byzantine silk production when temperature controls were insufficient during cocoon boiling?

A)Iridescent colors became permanently dull

B)Filaments tangled, raising reeling tension✓

C)Dye uptake was reduced significantly

D)Silk moths emerged prematurely from cocoons

💡 Explanation

Increased silk reeling tension occurred because uneven heat applications introduced thermal gradients during boiling, a type of Heat stress changes the fibroin structure; therefore tangling increased, rather than altered colors or dying factors.
