B Correct answer
Explanation

The statement is False because while the Dead Sea region is indeed the lowest point on Earth's land surface (approximately 430 meters or 1,412 feet below sea level), it is not a 'coastal area' in the traditional sense. The Dead Sea is an inland salt lake bordered by Jordan to the east and Israel and the West Bank to the west. The term 'coastal' typically refers to areas bordering oceans or seas, not inland lakes.
