Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Bethlehem
Bethlehem is a city in the West Bank, about ten kilometres south of Jerusalem. Under the early Caliphates it became part of Jund Filastin in 637, and Muslim rule continued there until the Crusaders took the city in 1099. Tubas, Beit Sahour and Jenin are other West Bank towns, not the city this passage describes.
