Final answer:
Option B (atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere) correctly identifies Earth’s four spheres, encompassing all the regions where life exists and interacts with Earth's water, land, and air.
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct list that identifies the Earth’s four spheres is B. atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere. The atmosphere is the layer of gases surrounding Earth, the lithosphere comprises the rigid outer layer of the Earth, including the crust and the upper mantle. The hydrosphere includes all of Earth's water bodies, both liquid and frozen, including oceans, seas, rivers, lakes, and groundwater. Finally, the biosphere represents the regions of Earth where life exists, which encompasses portions of the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere.
The biosphere is the highest level of ecological organization and it is where all living organisms, including humans, plants, animals, bacteria, fungi, and protists can be found. It exists from approximately 11,000 meters below sea level up to 15,000 meters above sea level, overlapping with the other spheres where living organisms can interact with the physical environment.
