Solution
Based on the figure provided, the suitable part of the Earth for human habitation is the Crust (labelled as 5).
Reason:
The crust is the outermost layer of the Earth, composed of solid rock and minerals, and is the only layer that supports life. It contains the landmasses (continents) and oceans, which provide the necessary conditions for human habitation, such as resources for food, water, and oxygen. The other layers (mantle and core) are either too hot or not composed of materials conducive to supporting life.
