Explanation:

The Battle of Tours in 732 CE halted Islamic expansion into Western Europe. It rallied European Christians around a common - religious and defensive cause. The Eastern Schism divided Christianity, the Magna Carta was about limiting royal power not uniting Christians against theocracy, and the Hundred Years' War was between England and France, not against African invaders.

Answer:

D. The Battle of Tours united European Christians against Islamic expansion.
