Answer:

The correct answer is B: Akhenaton.

Step-by-step explanation:

Akhenaton or Akhenaten was an ancient Egypt pharaoh who ruled during the Eighteenth Dynasty.

In the fifth year of his reign, Akhenaton abandoned the traditional polytheistic religious system and introduced monotheism on Egypt, based on worshiping only one god – Aten. He changed his name from Amenhotep to Akhenaton (which means Servant of the Athen) and formally declared the emergence of the new monotheistic religion.

The god Aten was often compared to the sun, based on the roods of the ancient Egypt civilization.
