Answer 1

Kush is a series of kingdoms that began as an agricultural society and adopted elements of Egyptian culture during its long connection with Egypt. It blended Egyptian practices with Nubian traditions and developed its own distinctive styles and writing system (option c).

Step-by-step explanation:

The Kingdom of Kush began as an agricultural society.

The Egyptians referred to the Nubian city-state of Kerma as 'Kush' during the rise of Egypt's Middle Kingdom. The Egyptian state initiated a centuries-long expansion southward, establishing fortresses to control regional trade and growing their trade with Kush. Over time, the Kingdom of Kush absorbed the Egyptian fortresses and adopted elements of Egyptian culture.

Kush remained a powerful kingdom for over a thousand years, flourishing in Sudan. It blended its many Egyptian practices with Nubian traditions and developed its own distinctive styles and writing system.

Hence, the answer is option c.
