The correct answer is A. Spain

Step-by-step explanation

Umayyad is the name of one of the various lineages or Arab caliphates of Islamism that emerged after the death of Muhammad, this lineage was characterized by having its main capital in Damascus (which is why it is also known as the Caliphate of Damascus) and then transferring it to Iberian territory, especially in Spain during the 6th century, also known as Al-Andalus from the year 756 to the year 1031.
