Is The Correct Answer For The Above Question.

Answer 2

B) serving as the interface between the other spheres.

The geosphere can also be called as the collective name for lithosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, and the atmosphere.

In the Earth system science, it refers to the solid parts of the Earth and it is often used with atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere to describe the Earth systems.

In that context, we also use the term lithosphere instead of geosphere or solid Earth.

For all purposes, the lithosphere only deals with the uppermost layers of Earth.
