The sentence that should be replaced to better support the passage's central idea is A. "This world-renowned collection houses an impressive array of artwork, including woodblock prints, tea ceremony articles, bamboo sculptures, and much more."
This sentence does provide information about the collection in the Denver Art Museum, but it does not specifically support the passage's central idea, which is to highlight the museum's collection of Japanese art. The other sentences mention specific Japanese artworks, ceramics, and paintings by women artists from Japan, which better support the central idea.
