The most accurate response is:

The Romans and Byzantines once ruled some Muslim lands.

This is correct because the territories that came under Muslim control after the rise of Islam included regions that had previously been part of the Roman and Byzantine Empires, leading to the incorporation of their architectural elements into Islamic architecture.
