The correct statement regarding the Mongol invasions of Korea (Goryeo) is:

C. Korea was ruled by the Mongol Yuan Dynasty for many years.

After multiple invasions and a prolonged struggle, Goryeo became a vassal state of the Yuan Dynasty, which was established by the Mongols, and maintained this status for several decades until the fall of the Yuan in the late 14th century.
