A. Abdul Malik
B. Al Hakam I
C. Marwan II
D. None of these
🧠 Explanation:
Marwan II was the last ruler of the Umayyad dynasty, reigning from 744 to 750 CE. His rule faced internal rebellions and external pressures, culminating in the Abbasid Revolution. Defeated at the Battle of the Zab in 750, Marwan II’s fall marked the end of Umayyad rule in the Islamic heartland, though a branch continued in Spain under Abdul Rahman I. His reign was marked by attempts to consolidate power amidst factional strife, but the Abbasid uprising capitalized on widespread discontent, leading to the dynasty’s collapse and a transformative shift in Islamic governance.
