Answer:

B. to please his homesick wife

Explanation:

Nebuchadnezzar I ascends the Babylonian throne in 604 BC. He conquered the Assyrians and Palestine, revitalizing Babylon, and building the Marduk Temple. His best-known achievement was, however, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. At the same time, it's the ancient monument that has less historical accuracy. According to the legend, Nebuchadnezzar built these gardens to his wife, who was sick and was missing the mountains of her birthplace.  

Diodoro Siculus (active c.60–30 BC) offers us a description of these gardens:

"The garden stretched over four plethra on either side and since the perspective of the garden had to be sloped like a hill, the various parts of the structure increased from layer to layer, so the appearance of the ensemble resembled a theater. As the rising terraces had been built, under them were built galleries that supported the full weight of the planted garden and rose slowly over each other along the landscape; and the upper gallery, which was fifty cubits high, gave more surface to the garden, which was made at the level of the city walls."
