Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to some Islamic traditions, the people of Axum offered shelter to the family of the Muslim prophet Muhammad during his exile from Mecca from 622 to 630 CE. For this reason, Axum was left untouched while Muslim armies conquered the surrounding areas.
