The answer is; C

The atmosphere is composed of air (mainly N2, O2, and C02). It is divided into different layers; troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and ionosphere. The troposphere is the densest and where most air is located. The atmosphere is significant in geochemical cycles as it interacts with the other spheres of the earth.
