Answer:

Correct answer is c. invented an alphabet.

Explanation:

Hello!

Phenicia was an ancient culture that developed between 1200 BC and 539 BC, in the current territory of Lebanon.

Phoenicians were recognized navigators and the commercial activity was the base of their economy.

Phoenicians created a phonetic alphabet that was composed of 22 characters, which were used to designate only consonant letters.

Over time, the Greeks took this alphabet and adapted it to their own language. The Latin alphabet is in turn an adaptation of the Greek alphabet.
