The answer is B: a step pyramid.

Explanation for each option:

  • "Ziggurats are not pyramids": This is incorrect. Ziggurats are a type of pyramid, specifically found in ancient Mesopotamia.
  • "a step pyramid": This is correct. Ziggurats are terraced structures with successive levels or steps, resembling a step pyramid.
  • "a round pyramid": This is incorrect. Ziggurats are not round; they have a stepped, rectangular base.
  • "a regular pyramid": This is incorrect. Regular pyramids, like those found in Egypt, have smooth, sloping sides, unlike the stepped design of ziggurats.

Ziggurats were built by the Sumerians, Akkadians, Elamites, and Babylonians for religious purposes, often dedicated to a specific deity. They served as temples and were believed to connect the heavens and the earth.
