D.they both used the contrapposto pose
 
B. They were both brightly painted

Classical Greek was very serene. Egyptian was very static. Neither were realistic. Egyptians didn't use contrapposto.

While it looks white today, the sculpture on the Parthenon still show evidence of polychrome paint. Egyptians used so much paint, you'd think they brought it in by tanker and pipeline.
