How did the spread of islam increase literacy among the populations in the kingdoms of west and central africa?

a) converts to islam were required to read and study from the qur’an, and muslim mosques became centers of learning and intellectual libraries for those of the faith.
b) the doctrines of islam disallowed the spread of the faith through verbal methods, so only those literate among the population were permitted to engage in the growing religion.
c) conversion to islam was not allowed unless a government-issued literacy test was passed, so those seeking conversion attended learning centers to aid in learning to read and write.
d) islam spread mostly through trade, so merchants seeking to take advantage of economic opportunities were required to be fluent in the written languages of customers across the region.

Option A

Explanation:

The spread of Islam was evident in the early stages of spread through the trade and commerce in West and Central Africa along the Saharan routes. The merchants of trade took advantage over the economic opportunity for the trade in the required language.

These needed them to be adept with the language for the studying of Quran which is a compulsion. Therefore, mosques were developed as the centre for learning with equipped libraries. Spreading occurred initially in the forest zones, like Mali, Ivory Coast and Nigeria, Guinea Basau and Ghana.
