From the twenty-fifth century BCE, pharaohs' tombs were located inside grand pyramids. The pyramids served as giant grave markers; however, they also served as treasure markers for grave robbers. These wicked people would strip the tomb bare of valuables. Then they would sell the stolen items for a large amount of money. Stealing from the dead was bad enough, but for the ancient egyptians, the act also threatened the pharaoh's afterlife.

The answer is ( B grave robbers were unconcerned about the pharaoh's afterlife), tell me why B is correct?

Answer:

As ancient Egyptian rulers, pharaohs were both the heads of state and the religious leaders of their people. The word “pharaoh” means “Great House,” a reference to the palace where the pharaoh resides. While early Egyptian rulers were called “kings,” over time, the name “pharaoh” stuck.

Answer: B

Explanation: "They went to great lengths to ensure that their tombs were prepared for the afterlife by placing valuables inside." Makes perfect sense. The text shows the evidence for it, since the text mainly talks about valuables inside, and the afterlife. Im also pretty sure that it would take great lengths to get these valuables.
