← HistoryWhich consequence results when the *siphōn* of Byzantine Greek Fire becomes blocked during naval combat?
A)Catastrophic backflow to reservoir
B)Reduced flame projection range
C)Rapid fuel vaporisation internally
D)Uncontrolled combustion on deck✓
💡 Explanation
Uncontrolled combustion on deck results because the Blockage prevents directional expulsion, and the pressure would force flames, rather than controlled streams, onto the ship itself due to pressure increasing until bursting rather than projecting safely.
