The option that enlists the social classes of the Egyptians in order, with the most important listed first is  Pharaohs, doctors, scribes, craftsmen, and farmers.

Social classes in ancient Egypt were important. The Pharaoh was the ruler and was at the very top of the Pyramid of classes. Then it came the Vizier, that was the higher priest of the Pharoh's counselor. Then it came the nobles and the Priest, who handled the religious ceremonies. Then the scribes, who knew how to read and write to keep all the historical records. Then at the bottom were the craftsmen and the soldiers.
