    The correct answer here is B. The Phoenician system of writing was developed from the kind of informal Egyptian writing system. It was extremely easy to learn in comparison to the Egyptian script as it only had 22 letter and each letter represented a sound which could easily be organized into words. There was no need to memorize thousands of ideograms any more.
