Answer:
D
Explanation:
although i have not read the article, i can conclude from the keywords (grave & egyptian), that the answer is probably D.
the backstory behind my reasoning is that it's called a Grave Matter. that eliminates the possibility of answer 'A'. also, i believe we can eliminate C, because the name of the article makes me think otherwise. B is probably a contestant, but my choice (if i haven't read the article) would be D. please let me know if this works or not.
