Why the answer is B, and why the others tempt you.
The Constitution of Madinah was a landmark political document that established the rights and responsibilities of all communities in Madinah, including Muslim Muhajirun, Ansar, and various Jewish tribes. It recognised them as one community (ummah) in matters of defence while allowing each group to practise its own religion. It is considered one of the earliest constitutional documents in history.
