The correct answer is
China
China is correct.
The Loess Plateau lies in north-central China, around the middle reaches of the Huang He (Yellow River). It is built of thick layers of loess, a fine yellowish silt carried and deposited by wind from the deserts to the north-west.
The loose silt erodes easily, and the sediment washed into the river gives the Huang He its yellow colour and name.
