Hint: Asia has varied climatic conditions and regions, considering southeast sections it is a very much dry region across but, whereas west-central Asia has places which have recorded the lowest temperature as −90.0 °F.

Complete answer:
As mentioned earlier in the Hint part, the Asian continent has very varied climatic conditions and regions. It has the most extreme climatic conditions, ranging from \[90{}^\circ c\] to\[54{}^\circ c\]. Recording the highest degree ever on Asian Continent as \[54{}^\circ c\] on 21st June 1942 at Tirat Zvi, Israel. It is the hottest place on the Asian continent. The reason why this continent has a varied climatic condition is a well known one, that is because it is the largest continent in the world and stretches over a length of about 11,000 km and a width of over 8500 km from the Arctic Sea to Australia. What everything other continents have, Asia, has it all in one. Be it from the Desert of the West to the Tundras of North Asia and Mountain Ranges of the Himalayas to Central Asia or to the Tropical Rainforests of Southeast Asia, it has all covered. It spans from \[1{}^\circ \text{ }16^\prime \text{ }N\text{ }up\text{ }to\text{ }77{}^\circ \text{ }43^\prime \text{ }N\] latitude and \[26{}^\circ \text{ }4^\prime \text{ }E\text{ }to\text{ }169{}^\circ \text{ }40^\prime \text{ }W\] longitude. That’s how huge the coverage of the Asian continent is. It stretched from the Polar Regions to the equator. Another important note is that the world's coldest permanently inhabited settlement is there in the Asian continent only which is, Oymyakon, Russia. This place is located in the district of Oymyakonsky, Sakha Republic, Russia, it is placed along the side of river Indigirka, 30 kilometers (19 mi) northwest of Tomtor on the Kolyma Highway.

So, the correct answer is Option B.

Note: However, considering in terms of temperature and humidity level Israel in Asia is the hottest region. But, in terms of dry heat levels UAE(United Arab Emirates) in Asia is the hottest region, the levels can be unbearable in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
