what forces the inner core of earth to remain solid?
○ lack of water
○ low temperature
○ low density
○ high pressure

Explanation:

The Earth's inner core is extremely hot, but the high pressure at the center of the Earth forces the iron - nickel alloy to remain solid. Temperature is very high (not low) in the inner core. Lack of water and low density are not the factors that keep the inner core solid. High pressure counteracts the effect of high temperature and keeps the inner core in a solid state.

Answer:

High pressure
