A
Migration of soul
B
Rebirth
C
Life after death
D
Soul living after death
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Ancient Egyptians believed the soul had three parts, the ka, the ba, and the akh. The ka and ba were spiritual entities that everyone possessed, but the akh was an entity reserved for only the select few that were deserving of maat kheru.

Detailed explanation-2: -Egyptian religion was polytheistic. The gods who inhabited the bounded and ultimately perishable cosmos varied in nature and capacity. The word netjer (“god”) described a much wider range of beings than the deities of monotheistic religions, including what might be termed demons.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ancient Egyptians believed that each individual had two souls, a ba and a ka, which separated at death unless steps were taken to prevent this division. Egyptian descriptions of the ba and ka are strikingly similar to modern scientists’ descriptions of the conscious and unconscious halves of the human psyche.

Detailed explanation-4: -Many scholars define sḫm (sekhem) as the living force or life-force of the soul which exists in the afterlife after all judgement has been passed. It is defined in a Book of the Dead as the “power” and as a place within which Horus and Osiris dwell in the underworld.
