Solution

The correct option is B Hijra, migration
Prophet Muhammad forbade idol worship and stressed on the importance of good behaviour. He faced considerable opposition from affluent Meccans who took offence to the rejection of their deity because it would undermine the older religious beliefs. Prophet Muhammed was forced to flee from Mecca to Medina in 622 CE. This event is known as Hijra which means migration. It marks the beginning of the Muslim calendar Hijri.
