In the book of the dead, ammit is a. the egyptian god of life, death, and fertility. b. a jackal-headed god associated with mummification and the afterlife. c. a hybrid of three nile creatures including the crocodile, lion, and hippo d. the third egyptian pharaoh of the nineteenth dynasty.

The correct answer is - c. a hybrid of three Nile creatures including the crocodile, lion, and hippo.

Ammit is a goddess and demoness in the religion of Ancient Egypt. She was a hybrid of the three biggest animals that were known to the Egyptians to have eaten people, the lion, the crocodile, and the hippo. Ammit as a funerary deity had titles such as the ''Eater of Hearts'', ''Great of Death'', and ''Devourer of the Dead''. If someone's heat was judged to be not pure, it was Ammit that was taking action and was devouring the heart of that person, thus permitting that person to continue its voyage to the immortality.
