In 711 Muslim forces invaded and in seven years conquered the Iberian peninsula. It became one of the great Muslim civilisations; reaching its summit with the Umayyad caliphate of Cordovain the tenth century. Muslim rule declined after that and ended in 1492 when Granada was conquered.

Answer:

Correct answer is the Umayyad caliphate of North Africa .

Step-by-step explanation:

Umayyad Caliphate is the correct answer, as it refers to the Caliphate that existed between 661 and 750 and that spread across North Africa and after 711 they destroyed the Kingdom of Visigoths, who were ruling in Spain until then.

All other answers cannot be correct as before this period Muslims were not inhabiting region of Western Europe, and all of the mentioned regions - Basque, Asturias and France are in Europe.
