Answer:

A biosphere

Step-by-step explanation:

Biosphere refers to the zone of life on a planet. It includes all living elements of a planet. It is also known as Eco-sphere and includes the interaction of all living being with their surrounding.

Of all the planets and exo-planets, Earth is the planet known to have life and thus biosphere.

Whereas atmosphere, lithosphere and cryosphere can be found on other planets as well.

Atmosphere: Layer of air and gases surrounding a planet or any celestial object. (Except Mercury, all the planets of solar system have atmosphere)

Lithosphere: it refers to the rigid outer part of the planet which includes crust and mantle. (All the rocky planets have lithosphere)

Cryosphere: portion of the planets where water is in ice form. (Many exoplanets have been discovered having cryosphere)
