The correct answer is C) Record keeper.

Scribes in the Ancient Egyptian society had a very important role that consisted of writing, classifying, accounting, and copying all kind of important documents, from business documents to official state enactments. They used different kinds of writing, like demotic or hieratic, which permitted them to write efficiently and rapidly with a reed pen on papyrus. Scribes belonged to a special caste because the proper functioning of the state and the public administration relayed essentially on them.
