1- The correct answer is A. A Sphinx is a massive sculpture of a lion with a mans head.

Sphinx is the Hellenized name of a fabulous being that is usually represented as a recumbent lion with a human head. The sphinxes were devised by the ancient Egyptians and are part of their complex mythology.

2- The correct answer is C. The Sphinx is thought to represent the pharaoh Khafre.

The Great Sphinx was made by carving a mound of limestone located on the plateau of Giza. The head could represent the pharaoh Khafre.
