To determine the correct chronological flow of Buddhism, let's examine the spread of Buddhism from its origin in India to different parts of East Asia.
Option A) Japan to Korea to China: This sequence is incorrect because Buddhism reached Japan through Korea, which acted as an intermediary. So, Japan was not the starting point.
Option C) India to China to Korea: This option represents the correct chronological flow. Buddhism originated in India, then spread to China during the Han Dynasty in the 1st century CE. From China, Buddhism expanded to Korea during the Three Kingdoms period (4th to 7th century CE).
Option B) India to Southeast Asia to China to Japan: While Buddhism did spread to Southeast Asia, it occurred later in its history, mainly during the 2nd to 13th centuries CE. Therefore, this option does not accurately reflect the chronological flow.
Option D) Southeast Asia to China to India: This sequence is also incorrect, as Buddhism did not flow from Southeast Asia back to China or India.
Considering the information provided, the correct chronological flow of Buddhism is C) India to China to Korea.
