The correct statement is:

The mantle is both solid and liquid, while the inner core is entirely solid.

The Earth's mantle is primarily solid but has areas that behave like a viscous liquid over long periods due to convection. The inner core, on the other hand, is solid despite being under extremely high temperatures and pressures.

S-waves (shear waves) cannot travel through liquids. Therefore, they can only move through solid layers. The correct response is:

inner core, mantle, and crust.

S-waves can travel through the solid inner core, the solid mantle, and the solid crust, but they cannot travel through the outer core, which is liquid.

BOT IS RIGHT!!
