Mecca (or Makkah) is the Most Sacred city for Muslims for:
Having the Ka'aba, the world's oldest God worship house.
Ka'aba is surrounded by the world biggest mosque that is having capacity of around 4 million Muslim prayers (as in time of Hajj). Mecca is the birth place of the prophet. Mecca is the first place where the prophet received the first God revelation of Quran through the angel Gabriel.
Answer B
Mecca was founded by the prophet Abraham and his son Ishmael. Many centuries after that, the Prophet Muhammad was born in Mecca, a direct descendant of Abraham.
The prophet Muhammad preached the religion of Islam, which called the people of Mecca back to the roots of the Abrahamic religion.
The square black building that one often sees (The Ka'aba), is the house that Abraham built to worship God. All Muslims are required to make a pilgrimage to this house once in their lifetime. During the pilgrimage, they perform various rights that are meant to commemorate the hardships that Abraham and his family faced to establish Mecca as a center for all those believing in the one true God.
