Which outcome occurs when early blast furnaces exceeded practical height limits?

💡 Explanation

When blast furnaces became too tall, gas dispersion occurred because furnace gasses cooled, reducing their capacity to react with the ore, decreasing reduction efficiency. Therefore, incomplete ore reduction results, rather than lining failure, iron starvation, or slag accumulation, which require different operational issues.
