I think the best answer is B. Chinese culture influenced Japan in the areas of religion, writing, and technology. China, being in close contact with Japan even before, had many influences in Japan. They imported a very big rang of ideas, techniques of production and institutional models from China. Through these, new rice growing techniques and handicraft production were developed by Japanese as early as the Yamato period.

The Congo River basin is one of the biggest basins in the world. It is a big obstacle for people to move in this part of Africa because:
- It is surrounded by mountains
- It has enormous amount of water and rivers, and also almost daily precipitations, which makes it very hard for people to cross this part
- It has constantly high temperatures and huge amount of moisture in the air, and that makes it hard for people to function in this conditions
- It's covered with very dense vegetation, it is a tropical rain forest, and the terrain is more often than not steep, so the movement is almost impossible
- There's lots of dangerous animals that can easily harm or kill people. <span />
The overall function of the European Union is to create and implement laws and regulations that integrate the member states of the EU. The countries of the EU are supposed to have uniform laws and policies concerning a variety of things (like immigration, labor, weights and measures -- all sorts of things). The function of the EU government is to decide how this integration should be done and to carry it out.
For example, 16 members of the EU use the Euro as their currency. One of the functions of a part of the EU government was to devise the currency -- to decide what it would be called, what it would look like, etc. Another part of the EU government tries to get countries using the Euro to enact fiscal policies that will keep the Euro stable. They try, in other words, to prevent fiascos like what happened in Greece this past year and they try to remedy them if they happen.
