its A and D
Yes, you are correct. Factors that led to the downfall of the Ghana Empire include:
A. Ghana was engaged in conflict with people to the north.
Ghana faced military conflicts with the Almoravids, a Berber Muslim dynasty from the north, which weakened the empire's military strength and control over trade routes.
D. Ghana's large population began straining resources.
As Ghana's population grew, the demand for resources such as food and water increased. This put pressure on the already limited resources, leading to economic and social challenges.
E. Ghana did not have iron weapons and rival nations did.
During this time, iron weapons were superior in warfare compared to the weapons that the Ghana Empire possessed. Rival nations who had access to iron weapons had a military advantage over Ghana, eventually leading to its downfall.
B. Ghana lacked nearby water resources and C. Ghana was unwilling to participate in trade are incorrect answers. Ghana was trade-oriented and had access to the Niger River, which was an important trade route. However, over time, changes in trade routes and the rise of new kingdoms with better access to trade routes contributed to the decline of Ghana.
I agree with your first two answers. I don't know about E.
