The Biosphere is the zone on Earth where life exists. It encompasses various components of the planet. Let`s dissect each option to determine the correct answer.
Option 1: This option includes the Hydrosphere (the water bodies of Earth) and the Stratosphere (the atmospheric layer above the troposphere). However, it does not include the Lithosphere (the solid, outermost layer of Earth`s surface), so this option is incorrect.
Option 2: This option includes all three components: the Hydrosphere, the Lithosphere, and the Troposphere (the lowest layer of Earth`s atmosphere where weather occurs). Therefore, option 2 is correct.
Option 3: This option only includes the Hydrosphere and the Troposphere. It does not include the Lithosphere, so it is incorrect.
Option 4: This option includes the Lithosphere, the Troposphere, and the Stratosphere, but it does not include the Hydrosphere. Hence, it is incorrect.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 2.
