Answer: B) Egypt's pharaohs controlled economic decisions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ancient Egyptians had a lot of resources at their disposal but they still traded extensively for goods they were not self sufficient in. The Egyptians and the Mesopotamians were early trade partners whose cultures influenced each other. Egypt primarily exported grain and crafts made with clay from the banks of the Nile.

Egypt's Pharaoh's were very influential with their claim to divinity and so controlled the country in its entirety. They controlled all economic decisions. This was unlike in Mesopotamia where the Kings were influential but trade could be done by individuals.
