Which outcome results when thermal expansion mismatch influences subsurface 'pietra dura' inlay placement within Mughal architecture?

A)Pattern fracturing and material delamination
B)Uniform thermal stress distribution occurs
C)Enhanced structural integrity over time
D)Increased colour vibrancy within pietra dura

💡 Explanation

Delamination occurs due to differential thermal expansion. The differing expansion coefficients cause interfacial stresses through elastic deformation effects exceeding adhesive strength; therefore, fracturing and material delamination results, rather than uniform stress which the system cannot sustain. The mechanism name is differential thermal expansion.
