The option that is NOT one of the three key things Egyptians believed would assure a successful afterlife is:

producing portraits of the deceased to disseminate among the family.

While portraits and images were important in Egyptian culture, the core practices for ensuring a successful afterlife were focused on mummification, tomb protection, and providing offerings for the deceased.
