Answer

Kiev was divided among Yaroslav’s five sons.
D
Kiev was renamed Moscow.

Explanation

When Yaroslav the Wise died in 1054, he divided the lands of Kievan Rus among his sons, who ruled different territories. Thus, Kiev was divided among Yaroslav’s five sons. The Mongol invasion came much later, in the 13th century, and Kiev was not renamed Moscow.
