The correct answer is 2. Cultural and commercial connections were established over a sizable region.
Explanation
The expansion of Islam between 632 and 750, was ruled by the Umayyad caliphate that conquered the Iberian Peninsula, Iran, Afghanistan, and part of China. This territory, added to the territory that they had achieved during its first stage, meant having influence in all North Africa and the Arabian peninsula. Due to the above, Islam was present in a large part of Europe, Asia, and Africa which allowed to develop cultural ties with the different origins of the native cultures of the conquered territories. In addition, having this territory allowed them to develop commercial routes that connected the 3 continents. So, the correct answer is 2. Cultual and commercual connections were established over a sizable region.
