The correct answer is D) creating the laws,

The task that was not one of the jobs of a scribe was creating the laws.

In ancient times, scribes were people that knew how to read and write and were hired to write and read legal documents, drawing up business contracts, and accounting. Historians consider that the first scribes appeared in ancient Egypt, writing and interpreting documents written in cuneiform signs.
