← HistoryWhich outcome limits the decorative complexity attainable in Mughal pietra dura inlay?
A)Differential thermal expansion✓
B)Pigment degradation over time
C)Insufficient adhesive strength
D)Material refractive index shift
💡 Explanation
Differential thermal expansion limits complexity because stresses develop between inlay components made of materials with different expansion coefficients; therefore, elaborate, high-precision designs with contrasting stone combinations become prone to cracking rather than sustaining integrity under temperature variations.
