Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Tectonic plates are large, rigid slabs of the Earth's lithosphere. The lithosphere is composed of the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle. Among the given options, the crust is the outermost layer of the Earth and is where tectonic plates are located. The outer core and inner core are deeper layers (liquid and solid iron - nickel respectively), and while the mantle is below the crust, the tectonic plates are primarily associated with the crust (as part of the lithosphere which includes the crust).
