Answer: a. Chickens.

Step-by-step explanation:

Egyptians domesticated animals for work and they also had many sacred animals. Sheep, goats, cattle, pigs, and geese supplied milk, meat, eggs, leather, wool, skins, and fat, for subsistence. Pigs were a main source of food since the early fourth millennium BCE. Chickens were first introduced in the New Kingdom, but only after Egyptians matured artificial incubation during the Late Period, did they spread as a common resource.
