By the way Spain certainly did become the center of Muslim culture IN EUROPE, but not overall.

The correct answer is D: Europeans became dependent on goods from the Middle East and Asia.

During the domination of southern Spain by the Umayyad Caliphate, there was significant trade and cultural exchange between the Muslim world and Europe. Islamic traders and merchants brought goods, technologies, and ideas from the Middle East and Asia, which had a profound impact on European culture. This interaction led to an increased demand for luxury goods such as silk, spices, and ceramics from the Islamic world.

As a result, Europeans became dependent on the importation of these goods, leading to the establishment of trade networks and the development of a growing European desire for the products of the Middle East and Asia. The Umayyad Caliphate's domination in southern Spain played a crucial role in the transmission of goods and knowledge, shaping European culture and economy in the Middle Ages.
