D.) His work became the basis for algebra

Explanation:

Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī better known as Al Khwarizmi was born in 780 in Khwarezm, Greater Khorasan, Persia. His profound and extensive work in mathematics, astronomy, cartography and geography laid great foundations for further development in trigonometry and algebra. It was

Al Khwarizmi's solution to quadratic and linear equation that laid a pivotal step in the derivation of the algebraic field. He is also attributed to the creation of the Hindu Numerals and calculations using it in 825, which brought about the spread of Hindu-Arabic numeral system outside of Persia.
