← HistoryWhich outcome results when inadequate surveying compromised Roman road construction?
A)Reduced drainage system effectiveness✓
B)Increased aggregate material costs
C)Decreased long-term structural integrity
D)Elevated embankment failure frequency
💡 Explanation
Inaccurate surveying caused subsidence that reduces drainage system effectiveness because incorrect levels disrupt water flow; therefore water accumulates leading to road damage rather than proper drainage because of the insufficient Hydraulic Gradient.
