Which risk escalated as Ur-Nammu standardized ziggurat construction across Sumerian city-states?

💡 Explanation

When Ur-Nammu standardized ziggurat construction, reduced structural diversity occurred because a single template was used regardless of local geological conditions, hindering regional adaptation. Therefore, decreased adaptation becomes a risk, rather than managing distant chains, decentralized control, or dilution of specialized skills, elements requiring dissimilar conditions.
