Whenever you see an indicator of COMPARISONS such as "in contrast to," the first thing that you should ask yourself is - is this a logical comparison? Strip away all of the modifiers, and just focus on what's being compared.

In the original sentence here, we're incorrectly comparing India to those in China.

In contrast to India, where many early followers of Buddhism were itinerants travelling the countryside to disseminate the Buddha’s teachings, those in China lived in monastic communities in which rules were developed for purposes of administrative organization, discipline, and the management of monastic lands and properties.

(A) India, where many early followers of Buddhism were itinerants travelling the countryside to disseminate the Buddha’s teachings, those in China


"India" isn't comparable to "those"


(B) Buddhism’s early followers in India, many of whom were itinerants who travelled the countryside and were disseminating the Buddha’s teachings, in China they

"followers" may seem comparable to "they," but the pronoun usage isn't correct. These aren't the SAME followers, so we have to use the demonstrative pronoun "those of China"


(C) Buddhism in India, with early followers who were itinerants, and many of them travelling the countryside and disseminating the Buddha’s teachings, China’s early followers of Buddhism

"Buddhism" is not comparable to "followers"


(D) early followers of Buddhism in India, who were itinerants, many of them travelling the countryside, and they disseminated the Buddha’s teachings, in China they

Same problem as in B


(E) early followers of Buddhism in India, many of whom were itinerants travelling the countryside in order to disseminate the Buddha’s teachings, those in China

"followers" is comparable to "those." Correct!
