Solution

The correct option is A Lithosphere
The lithosphere serves as a source of minerals. The minerals supply the basic materials, required for making a variety of commodities, which man uses daily. The lithosphere is also the major source of fuels, such as coal, petroleum and a natural gas.
The lithosphere in combination with the hydrosphere and the atmosphere plays a vital role in the growth of plants and animals. It provides nutrients to the plants. The plants are the source of food for man and all other animals.
