C Correct answer
Explanation

The lithosphere is Earth's rigid outer shell, comprising the crust and uppermost solid mantle. It ranges from 50-100 km in thickness and is broken into tectonic plates that move over the more ductile asthenosphere below. This rocky shell provides the solid ground on which we live and the foundation for all landforms and geological activity.
