The lowest point, on land, in the world is

Death valley, USA
Caspian sea, Russia
Dead sea, Jordan/Israel
Lake Eyre, Australia

The correct answer is: C. Dead sea, Jordan/Israel.

The Dead Sea is a salt lake bordered by Jordan to the east and Israel and the West Bank to the west. It is the lowest lake on Earth, sitting 430.5 meters (1,412 feet) below sea level. The Dead Sea is also the saltiest lake in the world, with a salinity of 34.2%. This means that it is 8.6 times saltier than the ocean. The high salinity of the Dead Sea makes it difficult for plants and animals to live in, hence the name “Dead Sea.” However, the high salinity also makes the Dead Sea a popular tourist destination, as people can float easily in its waters.

Option A: Death Valley is a desert valley in Eastern California. It is the hottest, driest, and lowest national park in the United States. Death Valley is located in the Mojave Desert, and its lowest point is Badwater Basin, which is 86 meters (282 feet) below sea level. However, Death Valley is not the lowest point on Earth.

Option B: The Caspian Sea is an inland sea located between Europe and Asia. It is the largest lake in the world by surface area, and it is the world’s largest salt lake. The Caspian Sea is not the lowest point on Earth.

Option D: Lake Eyre is a large salt lake located in central Australia. It is the largest lake in Australia, and it is the lowest point in Australia. However, Lake Eyre is not the lowest point on Earth.
