Issues related to the degradation of materials can often be linked to which of the following?

Mold and Fungus
Moisture
Pest infestations
Structural blunders

The correct answer is: Mold and Fungus

The correct response focuses on the connection between material degradation and the presence of mold and fungus. Mold and fungus thrive in environments where moisture levels are high, often leading to deterioration of various materials such as wood, drywall, and insulation. These organisms can break down the structural integrity of materials, causing them to weaken over time and potentially leading to health issues for occupants due to poor indoor air quality. While moisture is a significant contributor to mold growth, the question specifically asks about issues related to degradation, making mold and fungus a crucial factor in this context. Pest infestations and structural blunders can cause material damage, but mold and fungus specifically indicate a biological degradation process directly associated with moisture conditions.
