The complete question is:
A tribal leader directs members of his small society to raid villages and attack members of any other tribe they encounter. Though the group has many strong warriors, it is never able to grow large enough to fight against the large kingdom on its southern border.
This situation is similar to which of the following?
A). Russia under the system of serfdom.
B). India after resisting the Mongol invasion.
C). China following its conquest by Kublai Khan.
D). Mongolia before the rise of Genghis Khan.
Answer:
D). Mongolia before the rise of Genghis Khan.
Step-by-step explanation:
As per the question, the 'Mongol's situation prior to the rise of Genghis Khan' was exactly similar to the given circumstance where the group is unable to expand itself and battle against the opposition irrespective of having capable warriors.
The Mongols were dispersed into several individual groups that divided the power among the opposing groups and some combined groups as well. Prior to Genghis Khan, neither of them was ready to unite together and expand their reach in order to gain enough strength and power to battle against the huge Chinese kingdom located in the South and defeat them. Thus, option D is the correct answer.
