Answer 2

The correct answer is B) became a rich and cultured city as the new capital of the empire.

During the Abbasid dynasty, the city of Baghdad, located along the banks of the Tigris River, became a rich and cultured city as the new capital of the empire.

In 750 CE, the Abbasid Dynasty overthrew the Umayyad Dynasty and moved the capital city to Baghdad in 762. As part of the Golden Age of Islam, the Abbasid Dynasty established its caliphates and dominance in the Middle East region. The dynasty lost power when the Fatimids seárated to create its own caliphates in Morocco, Tunisia, and Egypt. The end of the Abbasid Dynasty came when the Ottomans invaded Egypt.
