The correct answer is B. The correct statement about Saladin is that he reached a truce with Richard the Lion-Heart, dividing control of Palestine between Christians and Muslims.

Explanation:

The facts referred to in the statement refer to the Third Crusade. In it, Saladin could not defeat Richard in any military confrontation, which secured several major coastal cities. However, on September 2, 1192, Richard signed a treaty with Saladin by which Jerusalem would remain under Muslim control, but Christian pilgrims would also be allowed to visit the city. Richard 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, their inability to recover Jerusalem would result in the request for a Fourth Crusade six years later.
