The asthenosphere is considered to be a plastic layer of the Earth's mantle, meaning it has the ability to flow without breaking under stress or pressure.

None of the other options are matched correctly. The inner core is solid iron, not liquid (A); the uppermost mantle is solid rock, not plastic (B); the lower mantle is solid rock, not liquid (D); and the lithosphere is a solid, brittle outer layer of the Earth that includes the crust and uppermost mantle, not plastic (E).
