Answer:

A) Core, as it makes up the most part of earths diameter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Comparing the earth to a boiled egg, cut in half, we can recognize its parts and its interior:

  • The earth's crust corresponds to the eggshell; It is the most superficial and hard layer of the earth, formed by rocks. The crust is not formed by just one part, but several others that are the large plates that float over the mantle.
  • The mantle corresponds to the egg white, which is the layer located just below the earth's crust and composed of very hot rocks that move constantly.
  • In the center of the earth there is a large core, which corresponds to the egg yolk. This is the warmest part of the earth. The core is divided into two, the outer, which is liquid, and the inner, which is solid.
