The correct answer is B. Malaria.

Step-by-step explanation

Tutankhamun (1347 BC - 1327 BC) was an Egyptian pharaoh who ruled since 1336 BC until 1327 BC, during the 18th Dynasty of Egypt. He was a young pharaoh and he died when he was 19 years old; however, the causes of his death were a mystery for a long time. In 1922 his tomb was discovered and years later in 1968, radiographs were made of his remains, signs of polytrauma were found, it was believed that he had been hit by a float in a battle or beaten until his death. Later, in the 21st century, it was known that during his reign there was a malaria epidemic, so DNA studies were done on mummies that had been found near Tutankhamun and Pharaoh's and found that he had been affected by this disease-causing death. So, the correct answer is B. Malaria.
