The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

During this time, traditional African beliefs that the people of Mali practiced were blended with traditional Islamic beliefs because of the trade dominance Mali held. This is common in many other African cities that partook in trade, because the most important thing spread on trade routes was not items, rather beliefs and ideas. And Islamic beliefs reached Mali through trade, and created a blended set of beliefs called through 'Religious Syncretism'.

well, there are a lot of places we get information about earth from. like science classes, websites, books, newspapers, etc.

the arab empire adopted the muslim religion as their main belief. arabs would influence the people from the territories they invaded towards islam (the muslim belief).

nevertheless, throughout the history of the arab empire, rulers brought intellectual individuals from other religions to their centers of learning. these other foreigners included jews, christians, greeks, persians, and indians.   these resulted in the adoption of important knowledge developed by these cultures by the arabic empire. for example, the works of aristotle were translated from greek to arab and indian scientists brought the numerical concept of "zero" to the arabs.

nowadays, 93% of the arab population is muslim, which at the same time is subdivided in sects including the sunni, zaini, alawi, shia. the remaining 7% is composed mainly of christians.
