Which consequence results when tesserae detachment occurs within Byzantine apse mosaics?

A)Diffuse fresco surface degradation
B)Weakened structural arch stability
C)Localized image distortion appears
D)Accelerated iconoclasm implementation begins

💡 Explanation

Localized image distortion results from tesserae detachment because Differential Thermal Expansion creates inconsistent movements throughout the structure leading directly to loss of image integrity; therefore, image distortion occurs rather than fresco degradation. Frescoes are paints not mosaics.
