Answer:

the correct answer is D. It includes worship of nature spirits.

Step-by-step explanation:

Shinto is an old religion in Japan. Most scholars name it as an eastern religion and a religion indigenous to Japan.

It is a very important part of Japanese culture, although not many Japanese people adhere to it, they respect it so much.

Buddhism is the official religion and the prevalent religion in Japan today. In fact, Japan is among the most religious nations in the world! these two religions have been co-existing relatively harmoniously and have even complemented each other to a certain degree!

And no. Being an indigenous Japanese religion, it was not influenced by Hinduism.
