The correct answer is c. Islam spread and Muslims absorbed the legacies of Greek, Chinese, and Indian thought.

Explanation:

The various Muslim empires that spread out of the Arabian peninsula starting in the 7th century reached across Eurasia after a few centuries. These empires created a vast network of trade routes that extended well beyond their scope of influence, connecting Europe and Asia through the Middle East. These trade routes served as a vehicle for the spread of Islam: in Europe, part of the population in the Balkans, north of Greece, converted to Islam. The same thing happened in the Indian subcontinent and in Central Asia, reaching all the way east to what is modern Western China. However, this influence flowed both ways: the Muslim empires absorbed the legacies of Greek, Chinese and Indian thought, which can be seen especially in developments in the fields philosophy, art, architecture, medicine, culture, and warfare. These influences helped make Islamic civilization the most advanced of the time  by the Middle Ages.

the vast majority of ballots have been counted nearly two weeks after one of the biggest political upsets in modern u.s. history catapulted donald trump to the presidency.

estimates show more than 58 percent of eligible voters went to the polls during the 2016 election, nearly breaking even with the turnout rate set during the last presidential election in 2012, even as the final tallies in states like california continue to be calculated, according to statistics collected by the u.s. elections project.

but among those figures were stark contrasts in key states that swing the election to trump — in ohio, wisconsin, iowa, michigan and elsewhere — indicating the president-elect’s leap from long-shot candidate to the most powerful political position in the world may have happened in part because of apathy toward hillary clinton’s candidacy, especially among the democratic base, several political scientists and organizations monitoring voter turnout told the pbs newshour.

while clinton is leading the popular vote by more than 1.5 million over trump as of sunday, she trails president obama’s 2012 totals by more than 2 million ballots — a chasm that may have cost her the election, said david becker, co-founder of the center for election and innovation and research.

“several million voters didn’t come out to vote,” becker said. “which is telling me that this idea of the trump wave, a huge number of voters shifting over to trump, is certainly not the story.”
