The answer is D because with the need for more cash crops, farmers are planting more cotton and other various crops that consume a large amount of water. The plants are sucking the Dead Sea dry, leaving a desert filled with debris.

D.) More water is being siphoned off the Jordan River for agriculture.
This statement is the reason why the Dead Sea's water level is decreasing.
The low level is blamed on the imbalance of the incoming water and the outgoing water. More amount of water is outgoing from the Dead Sea than it has incoming from the Jordan River.
