Which outcome occurs when a Mughal garden's aqueduct elevation exceeds its material limits?

A)Stucco facing tensile cracking occurs
B)Pietra dura inlay patterns delaminate
C)Water flow rate will substantially increase
D)Soil erosion around fountain basins

💡 Explanation

Tensile cracking occurs in stucco facing due to hydrostatic pressure exerted in aqueducts; therefore, the retaining wall is subjected to greater mechanical stresses exceeding its strength. This is rather than increased flow, because the flow is primarily gravity driven and limited elsewhere.
