You may be right, although I'd lean toward D.

However, I vigorously object to using the term "Asian" in this question. Asia is a vast continent made up of over 50 nations and many more cultures.

Consider these Asian countries: Israel, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, Russia, India, Nepal, Japan, China, Vietnam, Korea, Malaysia, Thailand, etc., etc.
