← HistoryWhich outcome occurs when early Mughal pietra dura lacked consistently sized inlays?
A)Reduced load-bearing capacity develops
B)Inconsistent thermal expansion happens✓
C)Enhanced surface polish resulted instead
D)Increased resistance against biocorrosion forms
💡 Explanation
Inconsistent inlay sizes in pietra dura introduce differential THERMAL EXPANSION because varying materials expand and contract differently with temperature. This differential stress causes cracking, therefore dimensional stability is compromised rather than enhanced polish or load capacity, because surface integrity decreases.
