Which outcome decreases vessel hull integrity when insufficient seasoning?

💡 Explanation

Fungal decay risk increases because incomplete seasoning retains excess moisture in lumber, fueling rapid microbial wood consumption through decomposition, therefore, decreasing overall strength, rather than increased resistance because treatment against borers demands well-seasoned timber.
