Answer 1

i think it is A) Anubis

Answer 2

The correct answer is A) Anubis is about to lead Hunefer through his test to enter into the afterlife.

The image corresponds to the Hunefer Papyrus, which is one of the most known versions of the Book of the Dead written during the 19th dynasty of Ancient Egypt. This papyrus represents the trial of Osiris, in which Anubis guides Hunefer to the court in order to weight his heart in the balance of Maat against the feather of the truth. If his heart is as light as the feather then he can enter into the afterlife. If it is not that way his heart will be devoured by the expecting creature Ammit, and therefore losing his condition of immortal.
