The correct response is: Muslim armies conquered the Persian Empire.
During the 650s and 660s, the rapid spread of Islam in Southwest Asia was largely due to military conquests, particularly the defeat of the Persian Empire by Muslim armies, which facilitated the expansion of Islamic rule and influence in the region.
