Answer:

B-They had a religious purpose.

Step-by-step explanation:

Minoan settlements were built around palaces. Labyrinths had a spiritual meaning.

From ancient.eu: "The labyrinth/maze, then, may have served to help one find their spiritual path by purposefully removing one from the common understanding of linear time and direction between two points. As one traveled through the labyrinth, one would become increasingly lost in reference to the world outside and, possibly, would unexpectedly discover one’s true path in life. "
