Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Glyphs were the system of writing used by the Maya to record their political and economic history. Glyphs were a type of hieroglyphic writing, consisting of pictorial symbols that represented words, phrases or ideas. This writing system allowed the Maya to record their history and culture, and to communicate across their empire, which covered much of present-day southern Mexico, Guatemala, Belize and parts of Honduras and El Salvador.
