Answer: The right answer is the A) He led a legendary pilgrimage to Mecca.
Explanation: Just to elaborate on the answer a bit more, it can be added that Emperor Mansa Musa, who became ruler of the Mali Empire in 1312, did conquer parts of the Sahara Desert, was certainly known outside Africa and expanded the Mali Empire - the Mali Empire had been founded in the 1200s and collapsed in the 16th century, and it was one of the most powerful, luxurious and wealthiest in the African continent, thanks, in part, to its abundance of natural resources. However, Mansa Musa's voyage to Mecca in 1324 was truly memorable. He was accompanied by thousands of people, soldiers and servants among them, as well as animals carrying vast amounts gold and other valuable products. On their way there, they passed through Egypt, and Musa gave signs of his wealth and generosity by purchasing numerous goods and distributing gold among the people. It was precisely this trip that made him known around the world. He also adquired territories on the way there.
