The correct option is D Diwan-i-aam / Diwan-i-khaas
In the Mughal architecture, the ceremonial halls of public and private audience were known as diwan-i-aam and diwan-i khaas. Placed within a large courtyard, these courts were also described as chihil sutun or forty-pillared halls.
The pedestal on which Shah jahan's throne was placed was frequently described as the qibla.
