← HistoryWhich outcome occurred when attempting Greek Fire production?
A)Component ratio variations led rapid explosions✓
B)Standardized recipes prevented batch scaling
C)Delayed combustion reduced naval targeting
D)Controlled testing minimized ingredient degradation
💡 Explanation
Ratio variations with Greek Fire ingredients caused violent, unforeseen explosions due to uncontrolled exothermic reactions. This occurred because the mixing process was not precisely refined; therefore rapid explosions were a risk, rather than gradual combustion.
