Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: The conquest of Mecca in 630 was not primarily about dominating the Christian world at that stage; Islam's expansion into Christian territories came later, so this is incorrect.
• Option 2: After the conquest, Mecca was cleansed of pagan idols, and Islam became the dominant faith there, ending the co - existence with tribal pagan religions. So this is incorrect.
• Option 3: The Kaaba was a religious site, not a place for storing traded goods. The conquest was about religious significance, not trade - related filling of the Kaaba. So this is incorrect.
• Option 4: The conquest of Mecca solidified Islam as a major faith. It brought the city (a major religious and tribal center) under Islamic control, and with military support (from Muhammad's followers), it strengthened the position of Islam. This aligns with the historical significance of the event.

Answer:

The correct option is: It solidified Islam as a faith and one backed by military support.
