"Monks from India spread Buddhism to China."
Explanation: The Silk Road carried people, goods, and ideas. Buddhist monks, missionaries, and merchants traveled the routes, bringing texts, art, and religious teachings that were adopted and adapted in Central Asia and China. The other choices are incorrect because conversion wasn't primarily done just to trade, most traders followed diverse faiths, and Buddhism is a religion/philosophy, not a trading practice.
