The heat from below causes the "plastic" nature of the asthenosphere. The correct option is D.

What is asthenosphere?

The asthenosphere is the upper mantle's mechanically sluggish and ductile region.

It is located beneath the lithosphere, somewhere around 80 and 200 kilometers underneath the surface, and can extend up to 700 kilometers. However, the asthenosphere's lower boundary is not well defined.

Semi-plastic rock makes up the Asthenosphere. Because of Lithosphere has a lower density, it resides on top of the Asthenosphere, much like an iceberg or a block of wood does on water.

The lower mantle beneath the Asthenosphere is stiffer and less plastic. The outer core is located beneath the Mantle.

The "plastic" essence of the asthenosphere is caused by heat from below.

Thus, the correct option is D.
