Answer 1

Hint: The crust, the mantle, and the core are the three layers that make up the earth. It is the earth's outermost layer, which is made up mainly of solid rock such as basalt and granite. Oceanic and continental crusts are the two forms of crust. Oceanic crust is denser and thinner than continental crust, and it is largely made up of basalt.

Complete answer:
A. Atmosphere: The troposphere, where we reside under the earth's surface; the stratosphere, which contains the ozone layer; the mesosphere, a cooler and lower density layer that accounts for around 0.1 percent of the atmosphere; and the thermosphere, the top layer, where the air is hot but quite thin. The atmosphere of the Earth is made up of 78 percent nitrogen, 21 percent oxygen, and 1 percentage of other gases. Layers of these gases can be detected within the four layers of the atmosphere, so it is a (4) gaseous layer.
B. Hydrosphere: The cumulative volume of water on a planet is referred to as a hydrosphere. The hydrosphere is made up of water on the planet's surface, underwater, and in the atmosphere. The hydrosphere of a planet may be liquid, vapors, or ice. On the surface of the Planet, liquid water occurs in the form of seas, lakes, and rivers. Therefore it is right to call hydrosphere a (3) region of water.
C. Lithosphere: The lithosphere is the Earth's rocky outer layer. The brittle crust and the top part of the upper mantle make up this layer. So it is filled with soil and rocks, therefore it is said to have (2) Rock, soil, etc.
D. biosphere: The biosphere is a relatively thin layer of the Earth's surface that supports life, ranging from a few kilometers into the atmosphere to deep-sea vents. The biosphere is a global ecosystem made up of living organisms (biota) and the nonliving (abiotic) factors that provide them with energy and nutrients. Therefore it has the presence of (1) living organisms.
Since none of the options match with the Ozone layer, it can be omitted.

Hence, the correct answer is option (D).

Note: Despite the fact that the four systems: hydrosphere, lithosphere, biosphere and atmosphere, have distinct features, there is significant interaction amongst them. Environmental sciences look at how occurrences in one sphere affect conditions in other spheres. When a volcano erupts, for example, it changes the surrounding environment and allows scientists to research the impacts of volcanic eruptions on all of the spheres.
