B. algebra
Muslim scholars made significant contributions to the development of algebra, particularly through the work of mathematicians such as Al-Khwarizmi in the 9th century. The term "algebra" itself comes from the title of his famous book "Al-Kitab al-Mukhtasar fi Hisab al-Jabr wal-Muqabala," which laid the groundwork for the subject.
