(c) used conscription to build a standing army of 30,000 men.
(d) adopted mercantilist policies to stimulate growth of the economy.

The correct answer is (D)

Explanation:

Peter the Great was the Tsar of Russia between 1682 and 1725. He sought to transform Russia into a great European power, and sucessfully expanded the territory of the Russian Empire through a series of wars against its neighbors.

Worried for what he deemed to be the backwardness of his country, he also launched a modernization program, aiming to Europeanize Russia. He adopted European clothing styles, customs, and manners, and reformed the country's administrative systems such as the Duma and other consultative bodies following European models. He founded the city of St. Petersburg on the shores of the Baltic Sea, and modelled it after other Europeans capitals, with the city becoming Russia's window into Europe. As part of his modernizing drives, he adopted mercantilist policies to stimulate growth of the economy, in the same vein other Europeans power had done during that time. Peter the Great hoped to improve agriculture by adopting modern practices and to develop a domestic industry. However, due to Russia's economic backwardness and huge size, the mercantilist policies weren't as successful as expected and Russia remained a primarily feudal agricultural state.

While he felt short of his goal of fully Europeanizing Russia, Peter the Great's policies had a huge impact on Russia, transforming it into a major European power.

the arab empire adopted the muslim religion as their main belief. arabs would influence the people from the territories they invaded towards islam (the muslim belief).

nevertheless, throughout the history of the arab empire, rulers brought intellectual individuals from other religions to their centers of learning. these other foreigners included jews, christians, greeks, persians, and indians.   these resulted in the adoption of important knowledge developed by these cultures by the arabic empire. for example, the works of aristotle were translated from greek to arab and indian scientists brought the numerical concept of "zero" to the arabs.

nowadays, 93% of the arab population is muslim, which at the same time is subdivided in sects including the sunni, zaini, alawi, shia. the remaining 7% is composed mainly of christians.
