No, it is not the occupation of northern Egypt by the Neo-Assyrian empire. The correct answer is option 3. The death of Cleopatra in 30 BCE marked the end of the Hellenistic period of Egypt. Cleopatra was the last ruler of the Ptolemaic dynasty, which was a Hellenistic kingdom that existed in Egypt from 305 BCE to 30 BCE.
