buddhist missionary routes at the time of king ashoka 260 - 218 bc. according to the map, in which areas did buddhism spread?
map of buddhist missionary routes
options:

• primarily in asia
• australia
• austria
• italy

Explanation:

The map shows Buddhist missionary routes from India (in Asia) to areas like Bactria, Tarim Basin, Burma, Sri Lanka, and also some western Asian and Mediterranean areas (like Alexandria, Antioch, Athens). But the majority of the spread is in Asian regions (India, Southeast Asia, Central Asia, parts of West Asia). Australia, Austria, and Italy are not the main areas shown for Buddhist spread at Ashoka's time. So the correct option is "Primarily in Asia".

Answer:

A. Primarily in Asia
