Solution

The correct option is A One Thousand and One Nights
Stories about characters like Aladdin and Alibaba and the Forty Thieves are all taken from the popular book, One Thousand and One Nights, more commonly known as The Arabian Nights. Most of the stories from the Arabian Nights were centred in and around Baghdad, the capital city of the Abbasids. The Persian Queen Scheherazade narrated these stories to King Shahryar.
