Answer:

A. He recaptured Jerusalem from the Crusaders.

Step-by-step explanation:

During the 12th century, a Muslim leader named Saladin led his army in the battle against the Christian crusaders. Saladin's army managed to intersect the Frankish army and capture or kill a vast amount of them, eliminating their ability to cause war. In doing so, he successfully defeated a massive Christian Crusader army and recaptured Jerusalem on October 2, 1187.
