I will start by pointing out one thing: the Egyptians cared a lot for their afterlife and they made an elaborate collection of myths concerning many gods (Re  being just one of them) - in fact the pharaohs were considered gods too! those believes are visible through the pyramids.
so let's take a look at the options

A) Egyptians focused on rituals and daily prayers while Mesopotamians were more focused on preparing for the afterlife.  - false, since the Egyptians focused on afterlife
B) Egyptians were mainly monotheistic and focused on one God while Mesopotamian beliefs focused on nature gods and goddesses. - false, the Egyptians  were polytheistic
