Explanation:

• Option B is incorrect: While some conversions occurred, the Moors generally allowed religious minorities (Christians and Jews, called "dhimmis") to practice their faith in exchange for a tax, rather than forcing mass conversion.
• Option C is incorrect: Swahili is a language of East Africa, unrelated to Moorish rule in Spain.
• Option D is incorrect: Moorish rule in Spain ended in 1492 with the fall of Granada, not 1792.

Answer:

A. The Moors made many notable technological and education advances.
