Answer : More Water is being siphoned off the Jordan River for agriculture and The dry climate encourages the water to evaporate ( C )
Explanation:
The dry climate encourages the evaporation of water but compared to the rate at which the level of the dead sea is decreasing this is not the only major contributor to it, The dead sea is connected the River Jordan and it gets most of its water from River Jordan hence the More water is being siphoned from the River the lower the supply and the lower the Dead sea's water.
The extraction of numerous minerals from the the dead sea doesn't affect the water levels but contributes to the inability of water organisms to survive in it because of mineral spillage that might occur .
