Japan

Finland

China

Correct Answer:

Japan

Explanation:

Japan is known as the “land of the Rising Sun”.

The term "land of the Rising Sun" is a poetic and historical reference to Japan. The name originates from the country's location to the east of the Asian continent. As the Earth rotates from west to east, Japan is one of the first countries to see the sunrise, giving rise to the metaphorical description of being the "land of the Rising Sun." This title reflects not only the geographical position of Japan but also its cultural and historical significance in the eastern part of Asia.
