A
Biosphere
B
Hydrosphere
C
Geosphere
D
Atmosphere
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The lithosphere, also referred to as the geosphere, encompasses Earth’s rocks. For instance, boulders of Mount Everest, Hawaii’s Mount Kilauea’s lava, Miami Beach’s sands, etc.

Detailed explanation-2: -Volcanos, mountain ranges, and deserts are all part of the geosphere. Put simply, without the geosphere, there would be no Earth!

Detailed explanation-3: -The continents, the ocean floor, all of the rocks on the surface, and all of the sand in the deserts are all considered part of the geosphere. Basically, if it looks like solid ground, it’s part of the ‘ground’ sphere.

Detailed explanation-4: -Examples are all the rocks and sand particles from dry land to those found at the bottom of the oceans. They also include the mountains, minerals, lava and molten magma from beneath the earth’s crust. The geosphere undergoes infinite processes constantly and that, in turn, modifies other spheres.
