Answer:

b. Pharaoh

Step-by-step explanation:

The pharaohs were considered almost divine beings during the first dynasties and were identified with the god Horus. From the fifth dynasty they were also "children of the god Ra". Normally they were not deified in life. It was after their death when the pharaoh merged with the deity Osiris and acquired immortality and a divine category, being then venerated as one more god in the temples. The Pharaoh was the most prominent authority, the monarch, and the one who represented the gods on earth, who kept unified the Egyptian kingdom and also, according to the ancient Egyptian view, he was the one who kept the order of the entire cosmos. Under the pharaoh were the priests, the scribes, the soldiers, and finally, the farmers.
