Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is A - They are in a museum in Greece.

Rawlinson's original translations from Behistun Rock are not stored at the British Museum because they are kept in the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, Greece. This is because Rawlinson's translation was based on his observations while he was visiting the site in the mid-19th century and the artefacts that he studied were kept in the Greek museum.
