Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The Queen of Sheba was an important figure in Ethiopia's history because according to Ethiopian tradition, she and King Solomon of Israel had a son named Menelik I who later became the first emperor of Ethiopia. This tradition is recounted in the Ethiopian epic poem, the Kebra Nagast, which traces the lineage of Ethiopia's rulers back to King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. The story goes that Menelik I traveled to Israel to meet his father, King Solomon, and upon returning to Ethiopia, he brought with him the Ark of the Covenant, which became a symbol of Ethiopian national identity and religious devotion.
Therefore, option B, "She and King Solomon of Israel had a son who established (began) the Kingdom of Axum," is the correct answer. The Kingdom of Axum is an important historical and archaeological site in present-day Ethiopia, and the story of the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon's son has played a significant role in Ethiopian culture and identity.
