← HistoryWhich outcome resulted from reduced maintenance funding for Roman aqueducts?
A)Increased biofouling from aquatic organisms✓
B)Enhanced mineralization of concrete structures
C)Improved flow rate due to smoother lining
D)Reduced water supply to Roman baths
💡 Explanation
Increased biofouling occurred because decreased funding limited regular cleaning; therefore, aquatic organisms proliferated and reduced the channel’s cross-section, rather than the alternatives because periodic maintenance prevented biological overgrowth hindering water delivery.
