I believe it would be Horemheb. He was a nobleman and a pharaoh.
The A. Doesn't make sense because it doesn't fit into the sentence, B. is a creature in the Mesopotamia and C is not fitting as well. So the answer should be D. Horemheb.
I can say that the "The Oath of the Horatii" which is by Jacques-Louis David shows that heroic actions were SIGNS or MARKS OF MASCULINITY. "The Oath of the Horatii" is actually a painting made by Jacques-Louis David, a French artist and this was done in the year 1784. Hope this helps.
