Answer: the crust.

Explanation: Because the crust does not have to support as much weight. For example, if you were to say the layer closest to the center of the Earth experiences the least amount of pressure, that would not be true because the layers closer to the center of the Earth have to support even more weight above them then the layer farthest out.

Hope this makes sense :))
