The correct answer is C. During the Third Crusade, the two famous leaders that fought against each other were Richard I and Saladin.

Saladin could not defeat Richard I in any military confrontation, who secured several major coastal cities. However, on September 2, 1192, Richard I signed a treaty with Saladin in which Jerusalem would remain under Muslim control, but Christian pilgrims would also be allowed to visit the city. Richard I left the Holy Land on October 9. The successes of the Third Crusade would allow the Crusaders to maintain a considerable kingdom with its headquarters in Cyprus and the coast of Syria. However, his inability to recover Jerusalem would result in the request for a Fourth Crusade six years later.
