Answer 1

Safavid leaders succeeded in creating an Islamic empire in the 16th century by:

A. using a powerful military to capture territories in the Middle East and Central Asia.

The Safavid Empire was established in Persia (modern-day Iran) in the early 16th century, and its leaders used a combination of military power, diplomacy, and religion to expand their territory and influence. They conquered several neighboring states and incorporated them into their empire, including parts of present-day Iran, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
