Given below are 4 statements (A), (B), (C) and (D). Please read them carefully and respond to the question given after these statements.
(A) The crust of the Earth comprises rocks rich in silica and aluminium.
(B) The core of the earth consists of metals in liquid stat e of high temperature and pressure.
(C) Magnesium and Phosphorus are dominant in the core of the Earth.
(D) The Hydrosphere covers approximately 71 % of the total surface area of the Earth.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below : 

(A) The crust of the Earth comprises rocks rich in Silica and Aluminium. This is CORRECT. The Earth’s crust is primarily made of silicate rocks containing elements like silicon and aluminium, often referred to as sial.

(B) The core of the Earth consists of metals in a liquid state at high temperature and pressure. This is CORRECT. The outer core is liquid, mainly composed of iron and nickel, while the inner core is solid despite high temperatures due to immense pressure.

(C) Magnesium and Phosphorus are dominant in the core of the Earth. This is NOT CORRECT. The core is dominated by iron and nickel, not magnesium or phosphorus, which are more abundant in the mantle and crust.

(D) The Hydrosphere covers approximately 71% of the total surface area of the Earth. This is CORRECT. About 71% of the Earth’s surface is covered by water, forming the hydrosphere, while the remaining 29% is land.
