A
crust, mantle, middle core, inner core
B
lithosphere, asthenosphere, mesosphere, outer core, inner core
C
inner core, outer core, mantle, crust
D
crust, mantle, outer core, inner core
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Earth can be divided up into sections or layers according to two criteria-chemical composition and physical properties. There are three chemical layers; the crust, the mantle and core and five recognised physical layers; the lithosphere, asthenosphere, mesosphere, outer core and inner core.

Detailed explanation-2: -Layers by Composition A cross section of Earth showing the following layers: (1) crust (2) mantle (3a) outer core (3b) inner core (4) lithosphere (5) asthenosphere (6) outer core (7) inner core. Core, mantle, and crust are divisions based on composition: The crust is less than 1% of Earth by mass.

Detailed explanation-3: -The earth is made up of three different layers: the crust, the mantle and the core. This is the outside layer of the earth and is made of solid rock, mostly basalt and granite.

Detailed explanation-4: -Crust-5 to 70 km thick. Mantle-2, 900 km thick. Outer Core-2, 200 km thick. Inner Core-1, 230 to 1, 530 km thick. 26-Aug-2019
