Final answer:

The ancient Hebrews were enslaved after the Hyksos were forced out of Egypt.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ancient Hebrews were A) enslaved after the Hyksos were forced out of Egypt.

According to historical records, the Hebrews migrated to Egypt to escape famine and were welcomed by the Hyksos dynasty, who encouraged them to stay. However, with the rise of the New Kingdom, the Hebrews were enslaved and led by Moses to escape sometime between 1300 - 1200 BCE. While there is limited archaeological evidence of their complete enslavement, references to the Hebrews as laborers enlisted to help build royal tombs have been found in Egyptian sources.
