{'troposphere': [6, 1, 1, 1], 'ionosphere': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'atmosphere': [1, 1, 4, 7], 'stratosphere': [1, 0, 1, 0], 'density': [2, 0, 1, 3], 'mesosphere': [2, 0, 0, 0], 'earth': [0, 1, 1, 1]}

The correct answer is option 1, troposphere. The density of the Earth`s atmosphere is highest in the troposphere. The troposphere is the lowest layer of the atmosphere, extending from the Earth`s surface up to an altitude of about 12 kilometers (7.5 miles) at the poles and about 18 kilometers (11 miles) at the equator.

In the troposphere, air is denser because it is closer to the surface of the Earth and is compressed by the weight of the atmosphere above it. This layer contains most of the Earth`s weather systems and is where temperature decreases with increasing altitude. The higher you go in the troposphere, the colder it gets.

The other options are incorrect:

- Stratosphere: The density in the stratosphere is lower than in the troposphere.

- Mesosphere: The density in the mesosphere is lower than in the troposphere.

- Ionosphere: The ionosphere is a region of the atmosphere where the air is ionized, but it is not the layer with the highest density.
