Explanation:

To determine the reasons for the decline of the Kingdom of Ghana, we analyze each option:

1. The leader of the Mande people rising to power and establishing a new kingdom (like Mali) was a factor as it challenged Ghana's dominance.
2. The land becoming depleted by overgrazing affected agriculture and resources, contributing to decline.

The gold market flooding and Christian conversion attempts are not primary reasons for Ghana's decline.

Answer:

A. The leader of the Mande (or Mandinke) people rose to power and established a new kingdom.
C. The land became depleted by overgrazing.
