← HistoryWhich unintended consequence arose when early silk production techniques diffused Westward out of China?
A)Increased material flammability risk appeared✓
B)Changes in fabric dye properties arose
C)Waterwheel technology advancements accelerated
D)New forms of textile ornamentation emerged
💡 Explanation
Localized silk workshops lacked centralized Chinese fireproofing. Because sericulture processes concentrated flammable materials in single locations, increased fire risk due to rapid flame propagation (fire triangle) grew, therefore risk increased, rather than the other options, which are largely design choices or side effects.
