Thinking it was disrespectful to speak directly about a god-king, they referred to the palace instead. D. Calling such a powerful ruler king was not enough, and the word pharaoh means god-king.

Sagot :

Initially word pharaoh meant as much as the "Great House", however later it evolved in a way it also meant a "God-King". So I assume the correct answer is C - Egyptians referred to the king's palace as it was disrespectful to speak directly.
