Correct

There was equal opportunity among Muslims and non-Muslims.

The Umayyads undertook the task of organizing in a territory greater than that of their predecessors, and with a large population of non-Arabs, made up of non-Muslim people. Due to the previous reason and because they cared more for the administration than for the religious conversion, there were equal conditions for both Muslims and non-Muslims.

(c)It embarked on a strong building program of roads, bridges, and mosques.

Further Explanations:

Umayyad Caliphate was one of the four prominent caliphates established after the demise of  Muhammad. The caliphate emerged under the region of the Umayyad dynasty established by the Uthman Ibn Affan, the third caliph.

The dynasty continued the Muslim conquest and incorporated  Transoxiana, Sindh, Iberian Peninsula, and Maghreb into the worlds of Muslims. The caliphate was able to influence 33 million people with an approximate area of 4,300,000sqmi, being the largest empire in history.

The Umayyad Caliphate developed the Umayyad architecture mostly in the city of Syria and Palestine. It introduced a new style of Mosques with minarets and mihrabs with innovative decorations with most of the techniques adopted from the Byzantine Empire and the Sasanian architecture. “Dome of the Rock” of Jerusalem is one of its oldest existing Islamic building. Ruins of two mosques are found in the Samara, Iraq having hypostyle design with roof supported by design columns.
