D Correct answer
Explanation

At its peak, the Persian (Achaemenid) Empire was the largest empire of the ancient world, stretching from Egypt and Anatolia in the west to the Indus Valley in northwestern India. However, the Persians never expanded far enough east to reach or conquer China. China remained geographically isolated from the Middle East during this period.
