Which statement best describes Fourier’s influence on deciphering the Rosetta Stone?

A. Fourier played a role in deciphering the Rosetta Stone by going to Egypt with Napoleon.

B. Fourier used mathematics as a tool for deciphering the Rosetta Stone.

C. Fourier showed Champollion how to read hieroglyphs.

D. Fourier helped inspire Champollion to work on the Stone’s inscriptions.

There Champollion was introduced to the famous mathematician Jean-Baptiste Fourier. Fourier had accompanied Napoleon to Egypt, and he showed Champollion his collection of Egyptian antiquities, including a copy of the Rosetta Stone.

The ancient hieroglyphs fascinated the boy. He asked Fourier, “Can anyone read them?” The mathematician shook his head, and Champol­lion said, “I am going to do it. In a few years – when I am big.”
