← HistoryWhich outcome limits the spread of Byzantine silk production secrets?
A)Emperor enforced harsh exile punishments✓
B)Worm's gut produces indigestible threads
C)Silk filament dyeing proved intractable
D)Constantinople's sea routes faced blockades
💡 Explanation
The geographical isolation helped, but the *repression* of silk production trade via strict legal penalties by the Emperor effectively protected the knowledge because unauthorized sharing could lead to exile and the secret stayed within the empire, therefore it limited the export of silk-making techniques, rather than simply blocking trade for textiles.
