In the example given, the interaction between Earth's spheres is best represented by option **A**: "The hydrosphere supports life in the biosphere."
The mussels live in water (hydrosphere) and rely on it for their survival by filtering food from the water, which is a part of the biosphere. This clearly illustrates the interaction between these two spheres.
