• C. ionisation of gases
• D. hard and rigid outer layer of the earth

Answer 1

The correct option is D hard and rigid outer layer of the earth

Earth's lithosphere includes the crust and the uppermost mantle, which constitute the hard and rigid outer layer of the Earth. The lithosphere is subdivided into tectonic plates. The uppermost part of the lithosphere that chemically reacts to the atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere through the soil forming process is called the pedosphere.
