Answer 2

Answer:

D. crust, mantle, outer core, inner core

Explanation:

The crust is the topmost layer of earth and is 5-70 km thick. The crust is followed by the solid mantle which is 2850 km thick layer of earth. The mantle has two layers: Towards the crust is upper mantle followed by the inner mantle.  

The inner mantle is followed by two layers of core namely outer core and inner core. The outer core is 2200 km thick while the inner core is only 1270 km thick. Hence, moving from surface to center of the earth, the layers of earth are crust, mantle, outer core, inner core.
