The option that best shows how Egypt became and empire is A. Ahmose drives out the Hyksos and established New Kingdom → Pharaohs use military technology to conquer most of Syria → New wealth allows Egypt to conquer Libya and Nubia.
How did Egypt become an empire?
After the Hyksos came and conquered Egypt's Northern Kingdom, they ruled for about 100 years until Ahmose I came and drove them from the kingdom. Subsequent Pharaohs then used the military technology they had learnt from the Hyksos to capture most of Syria.
The wealth they gained from capturing Syria led to new wealth coming into Egypt. The ancient Egyptians then used this wealth to conquer new territories in Nubia and Libya to expand the empire.
