Answer:

d) The lithosphere is broken into sections called plates.

Explanation:

Plate tectonics is the movement of the lithosphere and is responsible for such phenomena as volcanoes and earthquakes. The lithosphere is the exterior layer of the earth about a hundred kilometers thick. This layer is broken into large sized plates, about seven medium plates and numerous smaller plates.  

These plates move a couple of inches every year from each other and are the cause of volcanoes and earthquakes.
