The correct answer is C) the dynasty created a vast empire that stretched from the East China Sea far into Western China.
The statement that correctly describes the Song Dynasty is "the dynasty created a vast empire that stretched from the East China Sea far into Western China."
We are talking about an important dynasty in the history of China that ruled from 960 to 1279. The first period was known as the Northern Song, from 960 to 1127. Zhao Kuanying was the founder. Then, after 1127, the Southern Song ruled until 1279. Inventions that revolutionized the era were invented by the Song dynasty. We are talking about gunpowder, the compass, and the movable type. They were prominent producers of tea and rice until the Mongols conquered them.
