The correct response is: Discontent amongst non-Arab Muslim converts weakened the empire.
The Umayyad Empire faced significant challenges, including social and political discontent among non-Arab Muslims (mawali) who felt marginalized and excluded from power and privileges granted to Arab Muslims. This discontent eventually contributed to the downfall of the Umayyad dynasty in 750, leading to the rise of the Abbasid dynasty.
