Which scenario shows the most logical reasoning? A. The German priest Athanasius Kircher looked at a group of symbols and, without any evidence, decided that the hieroglyphs were instructions for secret ceremonies to gain the blessings of the god Osiris.

B. The Greek writer Horapollo said that the image of a rabbit in Egyptian hieroglyphs meant “open” because a rabbit’s eyes never close.

C. Young noticed that each time the demotic characters appeared, they were set off at both ends by lines like parentheses. He guessed that the lines were a simplified version of the oval cartouches that surrounded royal names in the hieroglyphs.
