Answer:
C. He understood that knowledge brings power and influence.
Explanation:
The library built by Ptolemy (the Macedonian, one of Alexander the Great's generals who became Pharaoh of Egypt after Alexander's death) in 300 B.C. in the city of Alexandria, Egypt is considered by some as the first & foremost great library of the world (although 350 years earlier, the King of Assyria built something of such magnificence, the Ashurbanipal’s Great Library at Ninevah). So magnificent was the library's collection that it is considered a fable and a legend in many circles till this day; it was said to have boasted a collection of all the known scholarly materials of the ancient world and also had them translated into the Greek language. Ptolemy sought to make Egypt great again & knowing the importance of knowledge with its accruing benefit being influence, he would build a great library to achieve his goal.
Hence, option C (He understood that knowledge brings power
and influence) is the correct answer
