The correct answer is C. The capital city of Israel is Jerusalem.

Explanation:

Israel is a country in the Middle East located at the southeastern end of the Mediterranean. The country borders Lebanon to the north, Syria and Jordan to the east, and Egypt to the southwest, and consists of a geographically diverse landscape within the relatively limited land area.

With a population of about 8.6 million, the majority of whom are Jews, Israel is the only state in the world with a Jewish majority. As a cultural and religious melting pot, it is also home to Arab Muslims, Arab Christians, Drusians, Samaritans, and several other religious and ethnic minorities. Jerusalem is the capital of the country and there is the seat of government. However, international consensus is that the status of Jerusalem has not yet been decided.
