Iron

Step-by-step explanation:

The earth's core is mostly made up of iron and has a radius of about 760 miles. It is surrounded by a liquid outer core composed of a nickel-iron alloy.

Answer:

C. Iron

Step-by-step explanation:

Unlike the mineral-rich crust and mantle, the core is made almost entirely of metal—specifically, iron and nickel. The shorthand used for the core's iron-nickel alloys is simply the elements' chemical symbols—NiFe. Elements that dissolve in iron, called siderophiles, are also found in the core.

I hope this helped ;)
