the umayyads won a decisive victory over the byzantines.
the byzantines won a major victory over the umayyads.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The Battle of Akroinon in 740 occurred in Anatolia (modern Turkey) between the Byzantine Empire and the Umayyad Caliphate. The Byzantines achieved a major, decisive victory that halted Umayyad expansion in the region. The other options involve conflicts that either did not occur in 740 in Anatolia or involve incorrect parties: Abbasid-Fatimid conflicts were later, and Mongol conquest of the Abbasids was in the 13th century.

Answer:

The Byzantines won a major victory over the Umayyads.
