Answer» B. it does not support any acquatic life
Explanation: The Dead Sea is a salt lake bordering Jordan to the east and Israel and the West Bank to the west. With 33.7% salinity, it is also one of the world's saltiest bodies of water. It is 8.6 times saltier than the ocean. This salinity makes for a harsh environment in which animals cannot flourish, hence its name.
