Answer 2

The correct answer is C. The fictional book Journey to the West describes the travels of a Chinese monk who brought Buddhism to China from India.

Journey to the West is one of the four greatest classics of Chinese literature, and possibly the best-known work among Chinese teenagers. It was published anonymously in the year 1590, and although there is no direct evidence of the author, it is traditionally associated with the scholar Wu Cheng'en. The story tells a mythical version of the adventures of the Buddhist monk Xuanzang (602-664) on a journey to India to get some religious texts.
