← HistoryWhich risk increased due to Roman field fortifications' modular prefabricated construction?
A)Localized fire propagation rapidly increased✓
B)Thermal stress cracks enabled collapse
C)Soil liquefaction amplified structural instability
D)Wind loading induced component detachment
💡 Explanation
Localized fire propagation rapidly increased because the close proximity of prefabricated wooden components accelerated the combustion via thermal conduction, rather than isolated burning; therefore, fire was a greater hazard to these defenses than environmental loads given the construction materials used historically.
