← HistoryWhich risk increased inside medieval bailey fortifications following sustained trebuchet fire?
A)Compromised structural foundation stability
B)Elevated incidence of lead poisoning✓
C)Insufficient fresh water collection
D)Decreased light for crop yields

Elevated lead poisoning resulted from pulverized mortar dust containing lead carbonates released by repeated impacts during siege, because the **particle dispersal** distributed toxicity broadly; therefore internal populations’ health suffered, rather than immediate structural collapse.
