Solution

Mantle

Explanation:

The Earth’s interior has three layers: Crust, Mantle, and Core. The mantle occupies about 84% of the Earth’s volume, making it the largest layer by volume. The crust is only about 1%, and the core is smaller in volume compared to the mantle. Hence, the mantle occupies the maximum volume.
