Answer:

Both

Explanation:

The lithosphere is part of both the crust and the mantle.

It is the surface layer of the earth and also the most rigid layer. It is formed by the crust and the outermost part of the mantle. It is divided into two types: continental lithosphere and oceanic lithosphere.

The oceanic lithosphere has an approximate thickness of 50 - 100km, and the continental olithosphere of 40 - 200km.
