Famine was frequent, causing destabilization.

Answer 1

The correct answer to this question is alternative C)"Conflicts over leadership weakened the military."

Mali and Songhai were two of the most important West African Empires, and they thrived mostly from their gold trade through the Sahara Desert.

They had in common their conflicts over leadership, which obviously weakened the military.

The rest of the alternatives are not true about them.

Conflicts over leadership weakened the military.
Other choices are untrue about trade, civil wars, and famine.
