Answer:  

The correct answer is option C.

It showed Europeans were unwilling to allow further Islamic expansion into Europe.

Explanation:

The Battle of Poitiers was fought at Poitiers in 732 CE, France between the armies of France and Spain. The war resulted in the victory of French leader Charles Martel which restricted the advancement of Muslims in the Western European region. Thus the Muslim general  Abd-ar-Rahman was killed in the fight and the Moors were forced to retreat from Gaul, to never return again.

Further explanation:

The Battle of Poitiers, also known as Battle of Tours was significant to drive away the Muslim forces from conquering the regions of Europe and disallow them to further expand their territory in Western Europe. The battle was fought between the French and the Muslim invading forces of Spain. The invasion was a part of the Arab military expansion that was in a crusade to search for new lands and bring an end to the influence of Christianity as a religion. The forces of Abd-er Rahman thus made this attempt after the completion of successive Muslim conquests at Syria, Egypt and North Africa. The Muslims had also further invaded Spain to mark their presence in the West European region.  

Thus, the battle raised the prominence of France in the west European region when the region was alarmed by its presence of Muslim invaders and the battle resulted in the preservation of Christianity as the dominant faith in Europe.

<span>C. It showed that Europeans were unwilling to allow further Islamic expansion into Europe.

The Battle of Poitiers is also known as the Battle of Tours, or (in Arab sources) as the Battle of the Palace of the Marytrs. The leader of the French armies was Charles, the son of Pepin of Herstal, the "majordomo" (Mayor of the Palace) serving kings of the Merovingian dynasty.

He received the nickname "Martel," meaning "The Hammer," for his leadership at the Battle of Tours (or Poitiers) in 732, defeating the forces of the Umayyad Caliphate. Islamic presence was thus kept from advancing further into Europe than the Iberian peninsula at that time.</span>
