Question 7

To solve this, we recall historical regions. Northern Afghanistan was historically known as Bactria. Kandahar is a city in Afghanistan, Babur was a Mughal emperor, and Herat is a city in Afghanistan. So the correct option is the one with Bactria.

We analyze the options. "Muslim" refers to a follower, while "Islamic" refers to the religion or its related aspects. Afghanistan's constant religion - related aspect is Islamic (the religion is Islam, and "Islamic" is used to describe the religion's presence). Christian and Hindu are not the main constant religion here. So the correct option is the one with Islamic.

Answer:

A. Bactria
