← HistoryWhich risk substantially heightened when Mughal garden designers elongated water channels excessively?
A)Aqueduct undermining due hydrostatic uplift
B)Waterborne pathogen transmission increases rapidly✓
C)Freezing damage escalates system-wide
D)Pietra dura inlay pops continually
💡 Explanation
Water channel elongation promotes stagnation, increasing waterborne pathogen transmission because the channels' increased surface area and reduced flow encourage the survival and spread of those bacteria. It's system-wide impact, therefore, presents significant risk increase, rather than isolated aqueduct undermining or inlay damage only.
