The option that is NOT one of the three beliefs the Egyptians had for ensuring a successful afterlife is:

producing portraits of the deceased to disseminate among the family.

While the other options involve preservation and offerings that were crucial for the afterlife according to Egyptian beliefs, producing portraits for family dissemination was not one of the core tenets.
