Oceanic lithosphere consists mainly of mafic crust and ultramafic mantle (peridotite) and is denser than continental lithosphere, for which the mantle is associated with crust made of felsic rocks. Oceanic lithosphere thickens as it ages and moves away from the mid-ocean ridge. This thickening occurs by conductive cooling, which converts hot asthenosphere into lithospheric mantle and causes the oceanic lithosphere to become increasingly thick and dense with age. In fact, oceanic lithosphere is a thermal boundary layer for the convection[9] in the mantle. The thickness of the mantle part of the oceanic lithosphere can be approximated as a thermal boundary layer that thickens as the square root of time.
I think from the above answers the most appropriate is that GPS technology has led to development of robotic tractors for planting, fertilization, and crop harvesting. The global positioning system has found a wide and beneficial use in agriculture, it is used for mapping yields, variable rate planting, variable rate lime and fertilizer application, field mapping for records and insurance purposes among other uses.

Answer - D. (The genetic code)
The genetic code is the nucleotide base sequence on DNA (with which information is encoded within genetic material). The nucleotide base sequence<span> codes for a sequence of amino acids, which are in turn used by living cells as the basic building blocks of proteins.</span>
