The correct response is **inner core**.
The inner core is defined by its chemical composition, primarily consisting of iron and nickel in a solid state due to the extreme pressure. The other layers (lithosphere, mantle, and asthenosphere) are more defined by their physical properties and behavior rather than strictly by their chemical composition.
