History

Which outcome results from excessive moisture permeating traditional Mughal buildings that feature intricate pietra dura inlay?

A)Discoloration of the inlays
B)Increased structural rigidity
C)Enhanced pietra dura luster
D)Improved thermal insulation

💡 Explanation

Moisture intrusion initiates a salt migration process due to capillary action, leading to efflorescence and staining which obscures the intricate pietra dura designs; therefore, the inlays become discolored, rather than enhanced or providing increased rigidity because the mechanism weakens the mortar.
