← HistoryWhich consequence results when improperly managed naphthalite supplies interact within early Byzantine Greek Fire infrastructure?
A)Reduced flame projection distance
B)Catalytic material degradation occurs
C)Uncontrolled pressurized deflagration ensues✓
D)Increased viscosity prevents ignition
💡 Explanation
Unmanaged naphthalite increases volatile vapor concentrations. Therefore, uncontrolled pressurized deflagration ensues due to low flash point and autoignition under compression, rather than flame reduction because excess fuel favors rapid combustion via pressure.
