Which outcome occurs when the pietra dura inlay of Mughal gardens experiences fluctuating humidity?

💡 Explanation

Differential thermal expansion causes the delicate inlay stones to expand/contract at different rates than the surrounding marble, weakening the adhesive bond because of cyclic stress. Therefore, the bond fails rather than strengthening, enhancing color, or improving adhesion, due to mechanical stress caused by inconsistent expansion.
