Solution
The correct option is A The Pharaoh The Egyptians developed a very structured hierarchy for administrative convenience. The Egyptian king was the supreme authority and he was called the Pharaoh. Next to him was the Vizier who administered territories for the Pharaoh. Below them were the governors who were in charge of the different provinces of Egypt. These governors supervised local mayors and they in turn oversaw the tax collectors.
