The correct option is D: the degree to which buyers have any bargaining preferences and the extent to which buyers are price-sensitive

Explanation:

Bargaining power of buyers is one factor that can pose either a strong or weak source of competitive pressure on industry members. However, being able to exert a strong competitive pressure would largely depend on the degree of the bargaining power of the buyers. If buyers have high bargaining power, then this can be a problem, as this poses a strong source of competitive pressure. Also, the extent of price-sensitivity of buyers is another factor.

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.
