A Muslims are prohibited from eating pork, and Hindus are prohibited from eating beef.
The correct answer is D: All citizens in a country with a large Hindu population must avoid eating beef.
To identify this connection between food and religion in Asia, we can analyze each response:
A: While it is true that Muslims are prohibited from eating pork and Hindus are prohibited from eating beef, this connection does not apply to all of Asia.
B: This response is not accurate as it generalizes all Asian religions requiring rice to be eaten at every meal as the main dish. While rice is a staple food in many Asian countries, it is not specifically linked to religious practices.
C: While certain religious holidays may have specific ritual foods associated with them, it is not true that everyone, regardless of their beliefs, must eat the same ritual foods at these holidays.
D: This response accurately states that in countries with a large Hindu population, citizens are expected to avoid eating beef. This connection is particularly strong in India, where cows are considered sacred animals in Hinduism.
By eliminating the incorrect options and assessing the accuracy of each response, we can determine that the correct answer is D.
