    No offense, but this is kind of a weird question given the choices. Out of the four, it would be D, but I wouldn't stop there and say that's an overly simplistic view of Shintoism

    Wow those choices are ridiculous, the wrong answers are so obvious. They sure are taking it easy on kids nowadays, no wonder our education system is considered a joke.

    Shinto is certainly not Japan's earliest religion. It is one of the oldest organized religions in Japan (but that is not the same thing).

    But I'd say the closest is D.
