Yanıt Açıklaması:

The family in ancient Egypt, as it was transitioning to the Dynastic period, was systematically organized to render wholesome family life. Breasted (1909: 85) gives detailed analysis of the family life:

".....and we often find on the tombs the statement, ‘I was one beloved of his father, praised of his mother, whom his brothers and sisters loved."

The statement was before the Dynastic period, therefore it belongs pre-dynastic period.  The statement uses past tense, indicating once upon a time they were alive. It indicates that now they are dead. So it shows the mortality feature of the human.  The correct answer is B.
