D Correct answer
Explanation

Japan is known as the "Land of the Rising Sun" because the Japanese characters for Japan (Nihon or Nippon) literally mean "origin of the sun." This name reflects Japan's location to the east of the Asian mainland, where the sun appears to rise. Brazil, Ireland, and Iraq are not associated with this epithet.
