Which was an unintended result of Musa’s pilgrimage to Mecca?

Answer
A
Musa successfully brought Islam to European and Middle Eastern nations.
B
Europeans developed an increased desire to explore African wealth.
C
Middle Eastern nations benefited from the wealth Musa brought with him.
D
Because he was a powerful figure, Musa inspired others to make a pilgrimage.

This unintended result is described by choice B; the pilgrimage did not mean that Musa successfully spread Islam to European nations.
