Explanation:

After Kublai Khan's death, the Yuan Dynasty (Mongol-ruled China) saw a decline due to incompetent appointments to key government positions. This led to administrative inefficiency, corruption, and loss of public trust, which were core factors in the weakening of Mongol power in China. The other options are not the primary causes: trade continued, natural disasters were scapegoated but not the root cause, and territorial expansion had slowed by this period.

Answer:

A. too many unqualified people had been given important government jobs.
