yeah C option is the best answer here.... Even though Safavids were not the first Shi'a rulers in Iran, they played a crucial role in making Shi'ism the official religion in Iran. There had been, however, Shi'a communities in some cities like Qom and Sabzevar as early as eighth century. In the tenth and eleventh centuries, the Buwayhids, who were of Zeydi a branch of Shi'ism ruled in Fars, Isfahan, and Baghdad. As a result of Mongol conquest, and relative religious tolerance of Ilhanids, Shi'a dynasties were established in Iran—Sarbedaran in Khorasan being the most important. Shah Öljeitü—the sultan of Ilkhanate converted to Twelver Shiism in thirteenth century. In spite of all this, however, the general population of Iran remained mostly Sunni until the Safavid period.
