The correct answer is A.. The ziggurats were built as temples for Sumerian gods. They were temples for gods and were massive and had many rooms inside. They were used to pray to gods and conduct rituals that would please them, in earliest religions lik the Mesopotamian pantheon. They were similar in use to Greek temples who were also used for gods.
