a) Unification of China
b) Development of the Silk Road
c) Exploration of the Americas
d) Construction of the Great Wall

Answer 1

Kublai Khan's achievement was the unification of China through the establishment of the Yuan dynasty.

Step-by-step explanation:

One of Kublai Khan's achievements was the unification of China. After fully conquering the Song dynasty in 1279, Kublai Khan became the first ruler over all of China who was not of Chinese origin. He established the Yuan dynasty and adopted the Chinese name Yuan for his empire. Kublai Khan's conquest of China cemented the Mongols' political legitimacy in China and asserted his claims to supremacy over the entire Mongol Empire.
