The compositional layer at Earth’s center is called
A
crust
B
mantle
C
core
D
lithosphere
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Earth’s core is the very hot, very dense center of our planet. The ball-shaped core lies beneath the cool, brittle crust and the mostly solid mantle. The core is found about 2, 900 kilometers (1, 802 miles) below Earth’s surface, and has a radius of about 3, 485 kilometers (2, 165 miles).

Detailed explanation-2: -Then there is the core. The core is separated into two parts: the outer core and the inner core. The Earth is separated into the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. The inner core is the innermost layer of the Earth. It is solid and distinct from the outer core, which is a liquid.

Detailed explanation-3: -Core, mantle, and crust are divisions based on composition. The crust makes up less than 1 percent of Earth by mass, consisting of oceanic crust and continental crust is often more felsic rock. The mantle is hot and represents about 68 percent of Earth’s mass. Finally, the core is mostly iron metal.

Detailed explanation-4: -Earth Science, Geology, Geography, Physical Geography 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-5: -Core: It the innermost layer of the earth. It has the heaviest minerals of highest density, Nickel and Iron i.e Nife. The outer core is liquid while the inner core is solid.
