Answer: C
The Dead Sea lies in a rift valley.
The Dead Sea occupies part of the Jordan Rift Valley, a long depression formed where the crust has been pulled apart along the Dead Sea Transform between the African and Arabian plates. The floor of the rift has sunk so low that the lake's surface is more than 400 m below sea level, the lowest land surface on earth.
A gorge is a narrow valley cut by a river, and an intermountain valley or plateau is a lowland or upland enclosed by mountain ranges. The Dead Sea basin is none of these: it is a down-faulted block between parallel faults, which is what a rift valley is.
