Answer:
The correct answer is D. The region that includes parts of Israel, Syria, and Lebanon is called Palestine.
Explanation:
Palestine is (in the oldest, broadest, non-political sense) the tract of ancient Canaan in the Levant that currently includes Israel and the Palestinian Territories, as well as parts of Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon. In this sense, Palestina's borders run from the Lebanese coastal town of Sidon east to Damascus, south to the Gulf of Aqaba, and then north-west to Rafah on the Mediterranean.
After the United Kingdom had administratively split the British Mandate of Palestine in 1923, Transjordan received limited self-government and the name Palestine was used for the area west of the Jordan between Lebanon in the north and the Sinai desert in the south; a part of the southern Levant. At the end of the British Mandate in 1948, a war broke out. At the ceasefire of 1949, Palestine was divided between the newly founded state of Israel, Transjordan and Egypt. In 1994, Palestinian self-government came into being, nowadays known as the State of Palestine.
