History

Which limit increases shear failures when Byzantine silk brocade tapestries experienced frequent laundering?

A)Sericin gum degradation progresses rapidly
B)Fibers regain tensile load integrity
C)Dye penetration inhibits molecular slipping
D)Warp thread stress distribution stabilizes

💡 Explanation

Shear failure likelihood rapidly escalates because sericin’s degradation via hydrolysis weakens fiber bonds; the fiber slippage then increases under stress. Therefore A is correct, rather than B/C/D because those options describe stabilization and strengthening behaviors.
