Answer:

(D) was overshadowed by Ptolemy in Macedonia

Step-by-step explanation:

The Ptolemaic kingdom was a Hellenistic kingdom based in Egypt, and ruled by the Ptolemaic dynasty following the death of Alexander the Great. Ptolemy was appointed as satrap of Egypt in 323 BCE, by Perdiccas during the succession crisis that erupted following Alexander the great. Alexander's sudden death brought disbelief to the people of Greece. he had no obvious or legitimate heir because his son(Alexander IV) was born after Alexander's death.
