← HistoryWhich outcome occurs when humidity penetrates Mughal pietra dura?
A)Glycolysis of decorative plant matter
B)Dehydration reduces water retention
C)Fluorescence indicates crystalline damage
D)Oxidation increases iron oxide formation✓

The iron-containing minerals oxidize during moisture infiltration, thereby creating the orange-brown stains often observed; this process is called oxidation. This causes discoloration, rather than glycolysis affecting plants or fluorescence originating from new crystalline structures.
