Answer

Correct option: D.
Compass (navigation) is invented by Egyptian.

The compass was invented in China during the Han Dynasty between the $2nd$ century $BC$ and $1st$ century $AD$ where it was called the “south-governor”. The Chinese first used compasses not for navigation, but for spiritual purposes. They used the magnetic devices to organize buildings and other things according to feng shui, the ancient practice of harmonizing an environment according to the “laws of Heaven.”
