← HistoryWhich outcome limited early ziggurat construction despite bronze tools?
A)Groundwater increased foundation settlement
B)Sumerian writing recorded instability
C)Bronze corroded with rainwater
D)Unfired bricks eroded extensively✓
💡 Explanation
The ziggurats were constructed often with primarily unfired bricks. Exposure to water led to extensive erosion because capillary action drew up moisture, therefore compromising the structure, rather than groundwater settlements or bronze material failures.
