← HistoryWhich design limitation was primary during Mughal-era construction when using Pietra dura mosaics for extensive decoration?
A)Thickness influenced structural load limits✓
B)Susceptibility to chemical erosion increased
C)Adhesion limited high thermal expansion
D)Availability restricted widespread practical use
💡 Explanation
Structural load limits were primary constraints on Pietra dura, because its substantial density added significant weight, therefore designs minimized thick or large scale applications rather than ignore expansion or durability.
