Answer:
I believe the best options are
B) a city in Egypt named after Alexander the Great
D) Islam practiced in North Africa
Explanation:
The question is asking us to find examples of cultural diffusion caused by conquest. Therefore, cultural diffusion that happened for other reasons must be eliminated. For example, we know that soccer was created in England but is largely practiced in Brazil. It did not, however, happen as a result of a conquest. Brazil was not colonized or taken over by the British at any point.
On the other hand, conquests were the reason behind the naming the city of Alexandria in Egypt after Alexander the Great as well as the practicing of Islam in North Africa. The Ancient Egypt, toward the end of its glorious times, was conquered by the Greek. Greek culture was, therefore, diffused forcefully, as the name Alexandria demonstrates. Islam being practiced in North Africa is a result of Muslim conquests that began shorty after the prophet Muhammad died.
