During which years did Alfred the Great rule as King of England?

The time frame in question is the period Alfred the Great actually ruled as king. He became king of Wessex in 871 and remained in that position until his death in 899, making 871–899 A.D. the only option that matches his reign. The other ranges don’t fit: 800–850 is before his ascent, 1066–1087 corresponds to the Norman Conquest period, and 1200–1230 is well after his era. So the correct years are 871–899 A.D.
