The correct answer is letter D

Alexandria was an urban center that gave rise to the Egyptian kingdom of the Ptolemies. It was founded in 332 BC by the Macedonian Alexander the Great and soon became one of the largest cities in the Greek world. At the breakwater of the Mediterranean Sea, the Alexandria Lighthouse was built, 135 meters high, divided into three parts where the first was square, the middle was eight-sided and the upper was cylindrical. It was surrounded by a snail-shaped ramp that reached the top where there was the statue of the god Helium, the sun god. The lighthouse is considered one of the wonders of the ancient world.

The city was the main maritime base of the Mediterranean, as it housed large vessels and allowed the city to export its production to the entire country. It became the capital of Egypt and built great palaces, public institutions, museums, libraries and temples.

In the 7th century, the city's library was set on fire losing about 700,000 papyrus rolls containing works of antiquity. In 1375, the lighthouse was destroyed by a terrible earthquake. In 1994, archaeologists dived under Alexandria and discovered remains of ships and buildings from that time. Today, the city is threatened by erosions caused by rising seas.
