Which dynasty lasted from 1392 AD to 1909 AD?

• A. Koryo Dynasty (935-1392)
• B. Muye Dobo Tongji
• C. Chosun Dynasty (1392-1909)
• D. New Silla Dynasty

Answer: (C)

This question tests your knowledge of Korean dynasties and their dates. The dynasty that spans from 1392 to the early 20th century is the Chosun (Joseon) Dynasty. It began in 1392 when Yi Seong-gye established Joseon after overthrowing Goryeo and lasted for several centuries, ending around the time Korea shifted away from a traditional monarchy in the early 1900s (often dated around 1909–1910 in some curricula). That makes it the best fit for the given timeframe.

The other options don’t fit the dates: the Koryo Dynasty ends in 1392, so it doesn’t cover the period from 1392 onward; Muye Dobo Tongji is a military manual from the Joseon era, not a dynasty; New Silla Dynasty is not a recognized historical period in Korea.
