Which risk increases when Inca suspension bridge cables experience prolonged moisture exposure?

💡 Explanation

The cable's capacity reduces due to microbial degradation of ichu grass, leading to decreased tensile strength because biodegradation breaks down fiber bonds; therefore the bridge is weaker, rather than stronger, in those sections.
