Answer:

D) mummification and afterlife.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mummification was a common practice for Incas and ancient Egyptians. It was due to their common belief in an afterlife. In both cultures, death had strong links with everyday life. In ancient Egypt, the dead were mummified as part of the ritual of passage to the other life where, according to their beliefs, they were judged by the gods according to their actions in life. According to historians, the Inca empire had different spiritual and time concepts than those of Western civilization. Therefore, they believed that their ancestors remained on earth after their death. The dead were part of their environment and intervened in decision making.
