The correct answer is D) Internal organs were left inside the body for use in the afterlife.

The statement about the burial practices of the ancient Egyptians that is false is "Internal organs were left inside the body for use in the afterlife."

That affirmation is completely false. What Egyptians did was that before the burial they removed the internal organs an put them in jars. The internal organs suffered a quick decomposition that could contaminate the body, that is why they take them out. The jars were part of the objects included in the tomb, with other precious belongings. Tourist can see mortuary jars exhibited in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, Egypt.
