← HistoryWhich siege outcome during asymmetric warfare increases due to undermining?
A)Catapult range increasing sharply
B)Weakened walls fully collapsing✓
C)Fortified gate's hinges seizing
D)Soldiers' morale plummeting swiftly
💡 Explanation
Undermining involves digging tunnels to weaken foundation; therefore, structural instability grows rapidly, leading to collapse, because the undermining reduces the load-bearing capacity. Tunnel supports break, rather than alternative options, because direct load exceeds material strength due to ground shifting.
