Answer:

The correct answer is B. The Han leader that began to rule after the collapse of the Qin dynasty in 206 BCE was Liu Bang.

Explanation:

Liu Bang was Emperor of China from 202 BC to 195 BC. He was the first emperor of the Han Dynasty.  

Born into a lower-class peasant family, he managed to work his way up into politics and took part in the rebellion against the Qin Dynasty. After this, he defeated all other rebel leaders, including Xiang Yu, in a four-year civil war, from 205 to 202 and took control of all of China. His rule laid the foundation for the glorious Han Dynasty that would rule China for four hundred years.
