Correct answer is: 1 - Axum became a multicultural kingdom, with both Islamic and Jewish populations.

The kingdom of Axum was one of the most powerful in Africa. It reached its apogee in the fourth century AD, and in this same century it was converted to Christianity. Its apogee occurred around the middle of the fourth century AD, when the Axumites (name for the inhabitants of Axum) took the Kush kingdom, its rival, to ruin. One of the most important events in the history of the Axum kingdom was the conversion to Christianity of King Ezana in the fourth century by a Christian monk of Phoenician origin. After the conversion of King Ezana, the entire region of Ethiopia and much of the Nubia region were strongly influenced by Christianity, and most of the population also converted, making Axum an eminently Christian empire.
