Answer:

A. Crust and Mantle

Read Explanation:

  • The crust is the outermost solid layer of the Earth, ranging in thickness from 5-70 km (3-44 miles)

  • It's composed of rocks and minerals, and is broken into several large plates that float on the more fluid mantle below.

  • The mantle is the thick, rocky layer beneath the Earth's crust, extending from approximately 35 km (22 miles) to 2,900 km (1,800 miles) in depth.

  • It makes up about 84% of the Earth's volume.

  • Mohorovician discontinuity - It separates Crust and Mantle
