Which outcome occurs when differential thermal expansion acts upon Mughal pietra dura?

A)Tensile cracking of surrounding marble
B)Increased structural integrity overall
C)Improved optical refraction properties
D)Diminished vibrational resonance frequency

💡 Explanation

Tensile cracking occurs upon the marble due to differential thermal expansion because expansion rates vary significantly between marble and inlaid stones. This induces stress exceeding marble's tensile strength; therefore, fracturing occurs rather than structural improvement involving resonant frequency shifts.
