← HistoryWhich outcome accelerated deterioration of Mughal garden water features and stone?
A)Salt crystallization caused surface scaling✓
B)Aquifer depletion caused system collapse
C)Subsidence triggered structural dislocations
D)Erosion altered waterway cross sections
💡 Explanation
Trapped groundwater near garden surfaces experienced evaporation, leading to salt crystallization; this increased expansive pressure via salt weathering because of repeated cycles. Therefore, surface scaling via crystallization is the answer, rather than geological erosion or water management limits
