Which risk increases for Mughal-era pietra dura inlay exposed outdoors at increasing altitude?

A)Efflorescence deposit formation increases
B)Base marble fracturing resistance decreases
C)Differential thermal expansion amplified
D)Polishing binder oxidation accelerates severely

💡 Explanation

Increased altitude entails larger temperature gradients, therefore greater differential thermal expansion occurs between the inlay and the base stone; because disparate materials expand at varying rates there’s more interfacial stress, rather than simple oxidation or deposits.
