The correct answer is letter B

The Plate is the smallest and most external among the layers of the planet Earth. It is here that the transformations of the relief take place and where all the internal and external processes that cause its formation and transformation are expressed morphologically.

This layer, based on its locations, is divided into oceanic, with altitudes ranging between 5 and 10 kilometers, and continental, with a thickness ranging from 30 to 80 kilometers (most of this volume is below the level of the sea)
