D is wrong because it has Don't which is a contraction for "Do not" and it also has nobody.

Answer:
c: Champollion was amazed after seeing Karnak
Explanation:
Jean-François Champollion was a French linguist most famous for his work on Ancient Egypt and for deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphics.
In this excerpt we can clearly see signs of deep admiration and fascination Champollion had towards Egyptian culture, society and especially architecture.
That can best be seen from his sentence: "No nation on earth, ancient or modern, has ever conceived architecture on so noble and vast a scale".
This diary entry suggests that he was extremly amazed at the sight of Karnak.
