Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Taifa of Zaragoza
- Step 1: According to the official source: The taifa of Zaragoza ( Arabic : طائفة سرقسطة ) was an independent Arab Muslim state in the east of Al-Andalus (present-day Spain ) with its capital in Saraqusta ( Zaragoza ) city. ... The Banu Hud stubbornly resisted the Almoravid dynasty and ruled until they were eventually defeated by the Almoravids in May 1110. Answer: Taifa of Zaragoza. Why not the others: Taifa of Badajoz, Taifa of Valencia, and Taifa of Toledo were other regional Muslim taifa kingdoms in western and eastern Iberia, distinct from Zaragoza.
