Answer 1

C. The Mongol Empire established policies that placed extra burdens

on native populations in both Russia and China

Answer 2

C. The Mongol Empire established policies that placed extra burdens on native populations in both Russia and China.

This is the correct answer. The Mongol Empire established a policy known as the "tribute system" in both Russia and China, which required conquered people to pay tribute to the Mongol rulers. This placed extra burdens on the native populations and caused economic strain. Additionally, the Mongols often appointed non-native officials to rule over the conquered regions, which disrupted the existing power structures. Therefore, the impact of the Mongol Empire on Russia and China was similar in terms of the policies established by the Mongols that placed extra burdens on the native populations.
