The correct response is **asthenosphere**.
The mesosphere (in the context of Earth's layers, usually referring to the lower mantle) has a similar chemical composition to the asthenosphere, which is part of the upper mantle. Both layers share characteristics in terms of silicate minerals, although they have different physical properties due to variations in temperature and pressure.
