{'mediterranean sea': [2, 0, 1, 3], 'lebanon': [1, 0, 3, 5], 'syria': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'border': [5, 0, 7, 10], 'countries': [1, 0, 2, 6], 'iraq': [9, 2, 8, 16], 'jordan': [2, 1, 2, 4]}
The Mediterranean Sea is the body of water that separates Europe, Africa, and Asia. So let`s analyze the options.
Option 1: Jordan and Iraq do not have any coastline with the Mediterranean Sea, while Lebanon does. Hence this is incorrect.
Option 2: Iraq doesn`t border the Mediterranean Sea but Lebanon does. So, this too is incorrect.
Option 3: Lebanon and Syria both have coastlines on the Mediterranean Sea and hence this is correct.
Option 4: Jordan doesn`t have a Mediterranean coastline, while Lebanon and Syria do. This makes it incorrect.
So, the correct answer is option 3, which includes only Lebanon and Syria, both Mediterranean-bordering countries.
