Answer 1

Answer:

Option B.

Explanation:

Was the shrine in Mecca containing a large black meteorite, is the right answer.

Kaaba was a small shrine placed near the core of the Great Mosque in Mecca and regarded by Muslims throughout to be the holiest place on Earth. In the pre-Islamic era, the Kaaba was a shrine. It is believed by the Muslims that Abraham (Ibrahim) and Ismail (his son) constructed the Kaaba. It was in  629/30 CE [Muhammad returned to Mecca from Yathrib (Medina) ] that Kaaba became the focal spot for worship and hajj for the Muslim community.
