Answer:
The correct answer is D. This statement describes Confucius.
Step-by-step explanation:
Confucius was a Chinese philosopher, whose teachings had a great influence in China, Korea, Japan and Vietnam. According to tradition, he was born in the city of Qufu, in the Kingdom of Lu, now part of Shandong Province. He is said to have become Minister of Justice in Lu's kingdom. After being forced to resign, he toured the small kingdoms of northeast and central China, explaining his ideas about governance.
He emphasizes his philosophy of morality, right social relationships, justice and honesty, both in personal life and in government. During the Han Dynasty period in China, his teachings became the official philosophy of the state. His teachings were introduced to Europe by the Jesuit Matteo Ricci, the first to Latinize his name as "Confucius."
