Which outcome arises if freeze-thaw cycles disrupt the mortar supporting the pietra dura craftsmanship in historical Mughal garden fountains?

A)Increased chromatic aberration of stones
B)Accelerated allegorical narrative erosion
C)Detachment of delicate stone inlays
D)Impaired farsh-i arrangement translucence

💡 Explanation

Detachment occurs because water penetration expands during freezing, exerting pressure that overcomes the mortar's cohesive strength. This is a form of frost weathering, resulting in spalling of the stonework; therefore, the inlays come loose, rather than changes affecting optical narratives within or the underlying material.
