The correct answer is the crust.
The crust is present above the mantle and is the hard outer shell of the Earth. The crust is 0 to 32 km in thickness. The densest type of crust is oceanic crust with the density of 3.0 g/cm3. The mantle is the layer below the crust and above the core.
The mantle exhibits an average density of 4.5 g/cm3. The density increases with depth as the pressure increases. The outer core exhibits a density between the range of 10 g/cm3 to 12.3 g per cm3 and the density of the inner core is about 12 g/cm3. Showing that the inner core exhibits the highest pressure.
