Answer 2

Answer:

Option C. The Mamluks are the ones who drove the Mongols out of Syria.

Explanation:

The Mamluks was a dynasty that ruled Egypt and Syria from 1250 until 1517. The word "mamluk" means owned and it was used to represent this group of  "slave soldiers" mostly prominent from Central Asia. In the 13th century, the Mongols, which had already conquered China, head towards the Muslim community in Syria where they were facing no great troubles until they faced the Mamlulks, who refused to quail before the power and fought back, leading to a defeat of the Mongols that resulted in them leaving Syria.
