Explanation:

The text states that King Tut had a painful illness (Kohler disease) which damaged the bones of his left foot and there were 130 walking sticks and canes in his tomb. A person with such a foot problem and using walking aids is likely disabled. "Combative" means inclined to fight, "subdued" means quieted or made less intense (not relevant here), and "slain" means killed (not indicated in the text).

Answer:

A. disabled
