Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept:
Cryosphere refers to the frozen part of the Earth system, which includes all forms of ice.

Step 1: Definition of Cryosphere

• Includes glaciers, ice caps, snow, sea ice
• Covers regions where water is in solid form

Step 2: Understanding Option (A)

• Correctly represents ice present on Earth and in water bodies

Step 3: Eliminating other options

• Ice on moon → Not part of Earth's system
• Living things → Biosphere
• CO$_2$ → Atmosphere Final Conclusion: \[ \boxed{\text{Ice on earth and water}} \]
