The answer would be D. Crust, as its depth is less than 100 kilometers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

D. Crust, as its depth is less than 100 kilometers

Explanation:

Crust is about 1 % of the earth depth(less than 100 kilometers) which is almost insignificant compared to the earth total depth.

The analogy of a hard boiled egg shell fits well into the earth crust description because of how insignificant the depth of the shell is compared to the whole egg depth.
