Under the Yuan dynasty, the group with the higher social status was D. Turks and other Muslims. The Yuan dynasty, established by the Mongols, placed a significant emphasis on the status of foreign elites, particularly those from Central Asia and the Muslim world. While the Song scholar-officials and southern Chinese merchants were important, they generally had lower social status compared to the ruling Mongol elite and their foreign allies. Northern Chinese nobles also lost much of their previous status due to the Mongol conquests and changes in the ruling elite.
