choice a.

Explanation:

Thomas Young and Jean-François Champollion were considered rivals, but ironically they work indirectly together since Thomas Young was the first in deciphering the Rosetta Stone hieroglyphs, but after being incapable of finish it, Jean-François Champollion succeeded after taking young's prior work and complemented it to fully decipher it.
