The correct answer is C. Mantle
Explanation:
The Earth's mantle is one of the layers that compose Earth; this differs from other layers because it is partially melted and it represents most of the volume of Earth. Besides this, its composition and location below the outer core make this layer responsible for changes and phenomena in the surface such as volcanoes, new mountains, and Earthquakes, this is because the tectonic plates are over the mantle and the mantle is composed of soft and flexible materials that move and change. According to this, the mantle is the layer with partially melted material that moves the tectonic plates.
