Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is Option A : The Seljuks.

Explanation:

• Ahmad Sanjar, a Seljuk ruler, fought the Kara-Khanids in Transoxiana, the Ghurids in Afghanistan, and the Qarluks in modern-day Kyrgyzstan, as well as the nomadic invasion of the Kara-Khitais in the east.

• The Kara-Khanids sought help from their Seljuk overlords, and Sanjar answered by commanding an army against the Kara-Khitai himself. However, Sanjar's army  was decisively defeated by Yelu Dashi's army at the Battle of Qatwan on September $9, 1141.$

• While Sanjar escaped with his life, several of his relatives, including his wife, were captured in the aftermath of the conflict.

• The Seljuk Empire lost all of its eastern provinces up to the river Syr as a result of Sanjar's failure to deal with the oncoming threat from the east.
