A

derived from

B

recognized in

C

confined to

D

repressed by

Correct Answer: C

Choice C is the best answer. The text states that fans exist "from Brazil to Germany." Therefore, the influence is not "confined to" (restricted to) South Korea.

Choice A is incorrect because the music did originate in Korea; saying it is "hardly derived from" Korea would be false. Choice B is incorrect because the influence is recognized in Korea. Choice D is incorrect because "repressed by" means held back.
