The correct answer is C) it was a period of scientific and artistic innovation.

The statement that describes the Golden Age of Islam is " it was a period of scientific and artistic innovation."

The Golden Age of Islam started in the 4th century and ended in the 8th century. It was an important period where science, culture, religion, and art flourished in many Muslim regions. Historians consider that it started with the Abbasid caliph Harun al-Rashid, the fifth caliph, and ended with the Mongols invasion and the capture of Baghdad.
