← HistoryWhich risk dramatically increased within historical Mesopotamian bronze production, as tin source transport grew?
A)Increased bronze-disease propagation in sculptures
B)Accelerated degradation because of galvanic corrosion
C)Variability of bronze alloy composition amplified✓
D)Bronze tools becoming ineffective from surface depletion
💡 Explanation
Variable tin sources introduce composition variations within bronze alloys because incomplete mixing causes microscopic electrochemical imbalances, therefore corrosion resistance declined rather than bronze disease, galvanic effects, or localized surface reactions being the primary factor.
