The answer is letter A.

Sunni Ali was the ruler of the Songhai Empire of the west Africa from 1465 to 1492. This dynasty was known to have its wide range of army that captured and fortified Timbuktu and Djenne. He conducted repressive policies against the scholars of Timbuktu, particularly in the Sankore region, with which he expelled to gain control of the town that Tuareg was handling. This was the time that a fleet patrolled the Niger River which lead to the surpassing of Mali Empire.
