Answer:

The answer is A) Inner core, asthenosphere, and lithosphere.

Step-by-step explanation:

The earth’s mantle is composed of several layers. Some of them are the inner core, the asthenosphere and the lithosphere. The inner core refers to the central and most deep sphere of the earth. It is composed mostly of iron. The asthenosphere refers to the layer of the interior of the Earth that extends approximately between 50 and 100 km deep, it is formed by viscous materials that can deform. And, the lithosphere is the external and rigid layer of the Earth, of varying depth between 10 and 50 km, consisting mostly of silicates and composed of the crust and part of the mantle.
