Correct answer: An increased focus on arts, science, and literature.

Brief explanation: From roughly the 8th to the 14th centuries, major Muslim-ruled centers (Baghdad, Córdoba, Cairo, etc.) saw a flourishing of learning and culture — translation and preservation of Greek works, advances in mathematics (al‑Khwarizmi’s algebra), medicine (Ibn Sīnā, al‑Rāzī), optics (Ibn al‑Haytham), astronomy, engineering, calligraphy, architecture, and literature. Institutions like the House of Wisdom, madrasas, hospitals and libraries helped spread knowledge across the Islamic world and into Europe.
