Which layer of the Earth is the thickest and is made of molten rock?
A
Outer Core
B
Inner Core
C
Crust
D
Mantle
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The mantle is the mostly solid bulk of Earth’s interior. The mantle lies between Earth’s dense, super-heated core and its thin outer layer, the crust. The mantle is about 2, 900 kilometers (1, 802 miles) thick, and makes up a whopping 84 percent of Earth’s total volume.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Mantle It is the largest layer of the Earth, 1800 miles thick. The mantle is composed of very hot, dense rock.

Detailed explanation-3: -The mantle is a whopping 2, 900 km (1, 802 miles) thick, and it’s by far the thickest layer of the Earth. The Earth can be divided into four main layers: the solid crust on the outside, the mantle, the outer core and the inner core. Out of them, the mantle is the thickest layer, while the crust is the thinnest layer.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mantle-2, 900 km thick. Outer Core-2, 200 km thick. Inner Core-1, 230 to 1, 530 km thick.

Detailed explanation-5: -The crust is made of solid rocks and minerals. Beneath the crust is the mantle, which is also mostly solid rocks and minerals, but punctuated by malleable areas of semi-solid magma. At the center of the Earth is a hot, dense metal core.
