Solution

The correct option is B Mohammad's migration from Mecca to Yethrib
Hijrah is the Prophet Muhammad’s migration (622 CE) from Mecca to Yathrib (Medina) upon invitation in order to escape persecution at Mecca. The term Hijrah has also been applied to the emigrations of the faithful to Abyssinia (later known as Ethiopia) and of Muhammad’s followers to Medina before the capture of Mecca in 630.
