Solution

The correct option is A Egyptian civilization.
The Egyptian civilization was associated with the development of first calendar. In the Egyptian calendar, there were 12 months of 30 days each. The months each had three "weeks" of 10 days each. Between the end of the 12th month and the beginning of the first month of the next year were five extra days, resulting in a fixed year of 365 days every year.
