← HistoryWhich risk increases when Byzantine silk floss quality declines during sericulture?
A)Increased dye lot color variation
B)Weakened structural tapestry integrity✓
C)Decreased imperial trade monopoly
D)Reduced chromatic shimmering effects
💡 Explanation
Tapestry integrity weakens because lower-quality floss incurs a reduction of tensile strength due to its constituent fiber's diminished cohesion. Therefore textile breakdown risks rise, rather than dye variation which relates to the pigment's physical stability.
