← HistoryWhich risk increases when subsurface pressure alters voids underlying pietra dura during differential expansion?
A)Microbial biofilm stone disfigurement
B)Water vapor freeze-thaw fracturing
C)Inlay detachment or dislodgement✓
D)Seasonal pollen causing surface staining
💡 Explanation
Inlays detach when surrounding substrate loses integrity because pressure destabilizes bonding through interstitial weakening creating points of delamination across the decorative surface, therefore dislodgement is the outcome rather than biofouling or surface staining.
