Correct option is C
The correct answer is (c) biosphere.
• The biosphere is the part of the Earth where living organisms exist. It includes the land (lithosphere), water (hydrosphere), and air (atmosphere) in which life is found. This area supports all forms of life, from microorganisms to large animals and plants.
• The biosphere is a delicate balance of different ecosystems that sustain life through processes like energy flow, nutrient cycling, and the interactions between organisms and their environment.
Information Booster:
- Atmosphere: The layer of gases surrounding Earth, which is essential for life but is not itself the area where life is sustained.
- Troposphere: The lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere, where weather and life occur, but the biosphere extends beyond just the troposphere.
- Stratosphere: The layer above the troposphere, where the ozone layer is located, but it is not where life is sustained directly.
