karma
C
Eightfold Path
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The ancient Egyptians believed that when they died their spiritual body would continue to exist in an afterlife very similar to their living world. However, entry into this afterlife was not guaranteed. The dead had to negotiate a dangerous underworld journey and face the final judgment before they were granted access.

Detailed explanation-2: -They desiccated their bodies for use in the afterlife and built pyramids – ‘resurrection machines’ – that would ensure the pharaoh had eternal life by transfiguring him into a star, living on in the night sky forever.

Detailed explanation-3: -Facts About the Ancient Egyptian Afterlife: The Ba goes to have fun in the Land of Two Fields each day. The Ka goes to make sure the dead persons family is okay. The Ba and Ka meet each night in the tomb of the dead. If the Ba and Ka cannot find their way back to the person, the person never can go to the afterlife.
