The apadana was a large audience hall or throne room found in ancient Persian palaces. The one built at Persepolis by Darius was particularly massive and could hold several thousand people. The other choices are not correct - a ziggurat is a stepped pyramid structure found in ancient Mesopotamia; lamassu is a protective deity with a human head and animal body found in Assyrian art; and a stele is a vertical stone slab or pillar typically used for inscriptions or commemorative purposes.
