I'd definitely go with (D), that it was the first intact royal tomb found. As weird as that may sound, up until then, no one had found a royal tomb filled with treasures and an intact mummy still in its sarcophagus the way that Tutankhamen's was. Pretty much every tomb they had found had already been robbed or was simply empty without as much to go on as King Tut's was.
