Which among the following statements is correct about lithosphere?

  • A.It is the soft crust or the soft top layer of the earth.
  • B.It is made up of rocks and minerals, and covered by a thick layer of soil.
  • C.It is a regular surface with various landforms.
  • D.It provides us forests, grasslands for grazing, land for agriculture and human settlements.

Answer: D

The correct statement is It provides us forests, grasslands for grazing, land for agriculture and human settlements.

The lithosphere is the solid outer shell of the earth, and it is the domain that supplies forests, grazing land, farmland and the land on which people live. It is also a source of minerals.

Each of the other statements has one word wrong. The lithosphere is the solid crust or hard top layer, not a soft one. It is made of rocks and minerals covered by a thin layer of soil, not a thick one. And it is an irregular surface, with mountains, plateaus, plains and valleys, not a regular one.
