Well let's rule out our answers.  A is obviously incorrect.  B could be correct, but the foreign lands thing doesn't make a whole lot of sense, so probably not that one.  C is very likely, since it is a king and all.  D is also likely.  I would choose C personally, because gold is fit for a king.

The correct answer is A. Commonplace items for everyday use

Step-by-step explanation

In ancient Egypt, large pyramids were built as tombs for the leaders of that civilization. One habit was to embalm the bodies and make them mummies to preserve them. Also in the tombs of the pharaohs, everyday items and offerings were used to be included since it was believed that after death, the pharaoh went to another world where he would need all these items to live this included clothes, food, tools, musical instruments, chairs, among others. So, the correct answer is A. Commonplace items for everyday use.
