Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt are named based on the direction the Nile River flows. The Nile flows from south to north, so Upper Egypt (southern part) is upstream and Lower Egypt (northern part, including the delta) is downstream. The other options: "the class of society" is unrelated, and "location on the map" is not the basis—map location doesn't define "upper" or "lower" here; it's the river's flow direction.
