Answer:

A. Struggles within the kingdom weakened the country and its defenses.

Explanation:

Egypt's expansive prestige declined extensively around the end of the Third Intermediate Period. Its foreigns allies had fallen under the Assyrian range of influence, and by 700 BC war began.

Between 671 and 667 BC, the As.syrians started their attack on Egypt. The reigns of both Taharqa and his successor, Tanuta.mun, were loaded up with conflicts with the As.syrians, against whom Egypt had several triumphs. In the end, the Assyrians drove the Kush.ites once more into Nubia, took Memphis, and sacked the sanctuaries of Thebes.
