Explanation:

Question 17

Byzantine Empire's famous artworks (icons) were made using thousands of colored mosaic glass tiles. Glass statues and solid gold tiles are not typical materials for these icons.

The Egyptian innovation of dragging an iron tool on hot glass with colored bands to create stripe patterns is a known technique (like in glassworking for patterns), so the statement is True.

In sub - Saharan Africa's iron smelting, there was diversity in kiln designs, and one kiln design did not displace all others. The first option about no better furnace is incorrect as iron smelting did lead to furnace improvements.

Answer:

B. thousands of colored mosaic glass tiles
