Historical records show that the city of Timbuktu was founded in the year \(1100\) CE and became a centre of Islamic learning shortly thereafter. The first Muslim ruler of the Mali Empire, Mansa Musa, began his reign in \(1312\) CE. Based on these dates, which factor— the establishment of the trade city or the accession of a Muslim ruler— preceded the other in introducing Islam to the region?

Answer Options

A. The accession of a Muslim ruler (Mansa Musa) preceded the establishment of the trade city (Timbuktu).
