Answer 1

C. Mongol dynasty that controlled Muscovy.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Golden horde was founded by Batu Khan who was the eldest son of Chingiz Khan. After his death, it flourished for a century till 1359. At its peak, the territories of the golden horde were from the Urals to the Danube river and included Siberia. The Khanate was full of political turmoil and after the invasion of Timur in 1359 it was broken into Tatar khanates and by 1466 many Turkic-speaking khanates emerged. The remaining khanate of Golden Horde was Crimean Khanate and Kazakh Khanate which lasted till 1783 and 1847.
