The disintegration of the Abbasid Caliphate most directly led to the rise of Turkic states in the 13th Century.

Answer: Option 2

Explanation:

The end of the Abbasid Caliphate happened at the hands of Mongols who took over Baghdad and finished the Abbasid Caliphate in the latter half of the thirteenth century.

It was after the downfall of the Abbasid Caliphate that the emerging Ottomans secured new strength and the establishment of Turkic states by the Ottomans began.
