Which risk increases when seasonal flooding affects extensive pietra dura paneling such as in Mughal garden walls?

💡 Explanation

Salt efflorescence increases because rising damp carries dissolved salts into the porous stone and evaporates, and therefore salt crystals precipitate damaging the delicate pietra dura rather than erosion, sulfation, or frost, which affect the structural integrity.
