The correct answer is B. He was a young boy as a pharaoh.

Explanation

Tutankhamun was an Egyptian pharaoh who ruled between 1336 BC until his death in 1327 BC. His government was characterized by religious restoration through the restoration of temples and the worship of gods such as Osiris, Amun, and Ptah. Also, he was a young pharaoh who took power when he was about twelve years, which made his popularity increased after the discovery of his tomb in 1922 by Howard Carter. Additionally, from studies done on his remains, there are two hypotheses about his death, the first indicates that he died due to the malaria epidemic, and the second indicates that he died hit by a carriage during a confrontation. So, the correct answer is B. He was a young boy as a pharaoh.
