Answer
A
The economy and military became weak.
B
Priests were supportive of the new religion.
C
People accepted the worship of only one god.
D
The priests became the least powerful class in Egypt.

Explanation

Akhenaton shifted Egypt’s religious focus to the worship of Aten and reduced the power and wealth of traditional temples. The changes disrupted established religious and political systems, while the economy and military weakened. The traditional priests generally resisted the reforms, and most Egyptians did not permanently accept worship of only one god.
