Step-by-step explanation:
The reason why the "Nubian civilization" would be the correct answer because they were the civilization that were culturally closer to the ancient Egyptians. They were pretty much the ones that were following the traditions of the Egyptians. The Egyptians during the time had a good understanding of the differences between them and the Nubian civilization, in which they didn't really call them Egyptians, since they were another civilization. They had their own way of representing who the Nubian people are and kept it that way for many centuries.

Why the other answer choices are incorrect:
The reason why answer choice "Bantu peoples" is incorrect because:
They were originally from the Sub-Saharan region of Africa. This is a place that does not have Egypt in it, therefore eliminating this answer choice. They spread up until Southern Africa, which is far away from where Egypt is. This is the reason why this answer choice would be eliminated.
The reason why answer choice "Obelisk civilization" is incorrect because:
The Obelisk is actually a building that was in Ancient Egypt, not a civilization, therefore eliminating this answer choice since the question is talking about an actual civilization that shared cultural traditions with Egypt. This is the reason why this answer choice would be eliminated.
The reason why answer choice "Assyrian Empire" is incorrect because:
Assyria was a place, or civilization, that was in Mesopotamia. Mesopotamia is not Egypt, they were so far from Egypt to the point where the Egyptians couldn't have shared any traditions with them; therefore eliminating this answer choice. This is the reason why this answer choice would be eliminated.
