Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Historically, Buddhism originated in India and then spread to various parts of Asia. The Southern Qi and Northern Wei were both Chinese dynasties that adopted Buddhism, but Buddhism did not originate from either of them. Therefore, option A and B are incorrect. Option C is partially correct because Buddhism did spread from India to the Southern Qi and then to the Northern Wei, but it did not spread directly from the Northern Wei to Korea and Japan. Instead, Buddhism traveled to Korea and Japan via China. Option D best explains the spread of Buddhism as it acknowledges that Buddhism spread from India to both the Southern Qi and Northern Wei and then spread to Korea and Japan from these two Chinese dynasties.
