Answer:

B. China

Step-by-step explanation:

Pure Land Buddhism, also erroneously sometimes called Amidism, is a school of Mahayana Buddhism and, along with Zen, one of the most popular schools of Buddhism in East Asia. Pure Land Buddhism focuses on faith to the Amitabha Buddha. Pure Land Buddhism is often found in more widespread branches of Buddhism such as the Chinese Tiantai Buddhist School or Japanese Shingon Buddhism.
