What finally caused the Ming dynasty to collapse?

Answer
A
The dynasty won a war against the Ming government and executed the Ming leaders.
B
Manchu tribesmen and government protesters rebelled against the dynasty.
C
Famine caused a plague that killed many soldiers and many of the emperor’s supporters.
D
Isolationism led to a lack of new ideas to keep the government current.

Explanation

The Ming dynasty was weakened by internal unrest, including peasant rebellions, and by the Manchus’ invasion from the north. In 1644, rebels captured Beijing, and the Ming ruler died; the Manchus then established the Qing dynasty. This matches choice B, which identifies rebellion by the Manchus and government protesters as the cause.
