C.
They believed humans would need their bodies in the afterlife.

The Egyptiants believed that once they died they traveled to the afterlife, and for that they believed they would need their bodies. So they preserved them so that in the 'afterlife' they would still have their bodies and therefore be able to get to the afterlife.
