b) False

Answer 1

A document placing the earliest reference to the Arabian Nights in the 9th century is true, as the collection was compiled during the Islamic Golden Age.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that a document found in 1948 places the earliest known reference to the Nights in the 9th century CE is true. One Thousand and One Nights, commonly known as The Arabian Nights, is a famed collection of Middle Eastern stories compiled during the Islamic Golden Age, which began in the 8th century. The collection includes a variety of folktales, love stories, tragedies, and more that were not originally included in the earliest compilations but added over time.
