Which term refers to the facing of impact-resistant material protecting a structure?

• A. Underglaze painting
• B. Rococo
• C. Revetment
• D. Rose window

Answer: (C)

Protective facing used on structures to resist impact or damage. Revetment is a protective facing—often made of stone, concrete, or similar durable material—applied to surfaces to absorb energy, deflect forces, or shield foundations and walls from blast, projectiles, or weathering. This term specifically describes that layer intended to protect the structure, especially in fortifications or exposed builds.

Underglaze painting is a ceramic technique for decorating before glaze firing. Rococo is an ornate, light-and-fllourished artistic style. A rose window is a large circular stained-glass window in Gothic architecture. None of these describe a protective facing, making revetment the correct concept here.
