Answer 1

The correct response is:

**Islamic empires joined together nomadic groups and small, local kingdoms that were left in a vacuum of power caused by the fall of the Roman Empire.**

This answer accurately reflects how the rise of Islam coincided with the fragmentation and decline of centralized authority in regions that were previously under Roman control, allowing for the rapid expansion and consolidation of Islamic rule.
