Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Moho.

  • The Mohorovičić discontinuity usually referred to as the Moho discontinuity or the Moho, is the boundary between the Earth's crust and the mantle.
  • It is defined by the distinct change in velocity of seismological waves as they pass through changing densities of rock.
  • The Moho lies almost entirely within the lithosphere.
