Answer: A viscoelastic fluid of molten rock is the type of material found in the asthenosphere.

Explanation: Being right under the lithosphere and a part of the upper mantle where the heat is neither too strong to melt a rock completely, nor too weak to let it stay a rock, it turns to this viscoelastic state of peridotite.
