← HistoryWhich event results from Byzantine dromon fire misfires?
A)Decreased ship speed
B)Toxic fume inhalation
C)Hull structural weakening✓
D)Instability increases steeply
💡 Explanation
Hull structural weakening occurs due to localized thermal stress from improperly directed or contained Greek Fire during naval battles; thermal expansion differences cause stress concentration that degrades metal or wood, because the **thermal stress** weakens materials therefore reducing overall strength; rather than propulsion problems.
