D. Both established a new kingdom in sub-saharan africa

Answer 1

C. Both ruled over the Mali empire in Africa.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sundiata Keita was the prince of the Keita Dynasty, who founded the Mali Empire after defeating the Soso army at the Battle of Krina in 1234. This west African leader would also be known as the Lion King, and his heroic acts made into an epic poem "The Epic of Sundiata".

Mansa Musa was the great nephew of Sundiata Keita who would become the ruler of the Mali Empire. Musa was the deputy of king Abubakari Keita II, and after his death, the customary tradition of making the deputy heir to the throne led Musa to become the king.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
