GinnyAnswer · Answer

Akhenaten, originally Amenhotep IV, is known for significant changes during his reign, including changing his name and moving the capital. However, it is incorrect to state that he limited the priesthood to only twelve members, which is the answer to the question. Thus, option c is the answer that does not reflect a change imposed by Akhenaten. ;

The answer to the question is option C, which states that Akhenaten limited the priesthood to only twelve members; this is not true. Akhenaten did implement other significant changes such as changing his name and promoting the worship of Aten as a monotheistic god. He did move the capital but did not restrict the priesthood to a fixed number.
