Answer 2

Answer: A. the outer core is more dense and farther from the surface than the mantle

Step-by-step explanation: There are two mantle‘s. But both of them are closer to the surface than the outer core. the outer core is the liquid layer outside of the inner core. The mantle is the next layer after the outer core. It goes: inner core, outer core, stiffer mantle, asthenosphere, ridged mantle, then the earth’s crust.
