← HistoryWhich outcome occurs when raw silk thread quality degrades during Byzantium sericulture?
A)Weaker geomelting furnace crucibles
B)Reduced tesserae mosaic brilliliance
C)Ineffective Greek fire projectile range
D)Decreased imperial textile tensile strength✓
💡 Explanation
Lower-quality silk leads to weaker imperial textiles because the fiber diameter and consistency are reduced, impacting tensile strength via internal STRUCTURAL WEAKENING rather than affecting furnaces, mosaics, or fire, therefore imperial textiles’ quality decreases.
