Most Asian countries are high-power-distance cultures. One of the many reasons for this is the strong impact of Confucianism. Confucius believed that mankind would be in harmony with the universe if everyone understood his or her role in society and behaved accordingly. He devised a system of interdependent relationships in which the lower level gives obedience to the higher, while those who are higher protect and mentor the lower.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
A. In Asian countries the lower-level person always follows the higher person while the higher need not always protect the lower.
B. Hierarchies have existed in Asian countries for centuries.
C. Reciprocal obligations are the key to all cultures.
D. In a hierarchical culture power is distributed equally among its members.
E. Confucius is a much-respected figure in modern China.

Though if we evaluate all the options, correct answer choice seems to be OPTION B , but if we go according to the flow of the passage and the mentioned information in the passage , there is no mention of the timeline of the existence of the hierarchies in the Asian countries as mentioned in the option B. The theory or principles of Confucius scholars and its application in Asia has been done , but at what period of time has not been mentioned (whether a decade or a century ago).
So I have doubt in this aspect.
Thanks
