For: is used when a inferring a benefit to be received. To: is used when inferring an emotion value to receiver.
example:
The pen is important to me --> has an intangible value to me (a good memory or prestige)
The pen is important for me --> has a benefit for me (writing)
in our case, "To" should be used
"Eastern world" is redundant, should be replaced with "the East".
B. The Buddha’s image in a state of meditation is as significant to the East as the image of the crucified Christ is to the west. --> correct
C. For the Eastern World, the image of the Buddha in a meditating state is as significant as the image of the Christ in a crucified state for the west.
same as A.
D. The image of the meditating Buddha is as significant to the East as the crucified Christ is to the West.
an image should be compared to another image, not the "Christ" himself.
E. The image of the meditating Buddha is so significant to the East as the image of the crucified Christ is to the west.
"so ... as" can only be used with negative sentences (i.e: not so ... as), while "as ... as" can be used with affirmative or negative ones.

Answer: B
This is a comparison and a parallelism question. The intention of the questions is to showcase the importance of an image in a specific form to a specific part of the world. The focus is also on the equal importance of the image to their respective parts of the world.
The aspects being compared are:
1. East to West
2. Buddha to Christ
3. Image in state of meditation to image in state of crucification.
4. Significance of Image to East to Significance of Image to the West.
Option B is the correct answer as the comparison pairs are correctly placed and compared.
Option A compares Buddha’s image in state of meditation to Christ vs Image of Buddha in state of meditation to the image of crucified Christ.
Option C has wrong comparisons as it states that the entire comparison is for the eastern world the image of Buddha in meditating state is being compared to Image of Christ but does not qualify the how important the image of crucified Christ is to the west.
Option D compares image of meditating Buddha to crucified Christ and not image of crucified Christ.
Option E unnecessarily adds the word "so" to emphasize the significance but skews the equal amount of importance that the question would otherwise like to showcase. Additionally, the word as in c comparison is used to compare/show similarity between clauses but with the use of the word so negates the comparison/similarity.
