The correct answer is C. Mongol.

Indeed, the continuous Mongol invasions during the early 13th century greatly weakened the Koryo culture. Although, they resisted for 30 years they finally had to swear allegiance to the Mongols. Their ruler, Kublai Khan married one of his daughters to the Korean prince and the Koryo kingdom became a vassal of the Mongol Empire.
