Explanation:

Question 25

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Akhenaten didn't destroy all Karnak temples.
• Option 2: Step - pyramids of Saqqara were built by Djoser, not Akhenaten.
• Option 3: There's no record of him limiting priesthood to twelve.
• Option 4: Akhenaten established a monotheistic (or henotheistic) religion centered on Aten, where other gods were seen as inferior and not worthy of worship. This matches his actions.

We analyze each option:

• Option 1: Hyksos Style is not related to Akhenaten's rule.
• Option 2: Abydos Style is not the art style of Akhenaten's time.
• Option 3: Karnak Style is not the art style associated with Akhenaten.
• Option 4: The Amarna Style developed during Akhenaten's rule, emphasizing realism in art, especially in depicting the royal family and scenes of daily life with more naturalistic features.

Answer:

D. established a religion in which other gods were considered inferior to Aten and unworthy of worship.
