Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct option is A) Jizya

Explanation:

In Islam, Jizyah is considered as a certain amount of tax which is payed by non-Muslim minorities of a place. The Islamic rulers believe that Muslims of a country pay Zakat in order to help the poor people of a country so the non- Muslims should also pay a tax to raise the economy of a country. Hence, they came up with the method of jizya.

The Umayyad forces also demanded jaziya from the non- muslims of their community.
