History

Which outcome regarding Roman roads resulted from extensive use?

A)Roadside marker stones faced removal
B)Roadway height slowly caused erosion
C)Gravel compaction reduced effective drainage
D)Sedimentary petrification became widespread

💡 Explanation

Increased traffic resulted in greater compaction of the gravel layer, which decreased the effectiveness of the designed drainage via reduced permeability; therefore, standing water accelerated road degradation, rather than preserving roadway elements like roadside markers through dryness.
