Explanation:

To determine the correct statement about the Mongol Empire's approach to religion, we analyze each option:

• The first option ("The Mongols forced everyone to follow a single religion") is incorrect. Historical records show the Mongols did not enforce a single religion.
• The second option ("The Mongols had a tradition of religious tolerance") is correct. The Mongol Empire was known for allowing subjects to practice their own religions, with leaders like Genghis Khan and his successors showing tolerance toward various faiths (e.g., Buddhism, Islam, Christianity, and shamanism) as long as they did not threaten the empire's stability.
• The third option ("The Mongols banned all religious practices") is incorrect, as the empire permitted multiple religious practices.

Answer:

B. The Mongols had a tradition of religious tolerance
