B Confucianism

C Daoism

D Buddhism

Answer 1

Answer:

B - Confucianism

Explanation:

Parent-Child-Filial piety (respect for parents) was hugely emphasized in Confucius’ teachings because the relationship with our parents is the first one we experience and therefore the root of character and virtue. Parents and elders are held in very high regard in Chinese culture and are to be obeyed no matter what the age of the children.
