Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Egyptian kings sent trading expeditions to Lebanon primarily for cedar wood, which was highly valued for construction and shipbuilding. However, none of the options directly mention cedar wood. The closest option related to trade goods that might have been included in broader trade networks is "wine and funerary oils," as these could have been part of the exchanges, though not the primary goods sought in Lebanon. The other options list goods more commonly associated with trade with other regions.
