The correct answer is

Biosphere

Biosphere is correct.

The biosphere is the narrow zone of the Earth where the lithosphere (land), hydrosphere (water) and atmosphere (air) meet and interact.

Only in this zone are conditions suitable for life, so all living organisms are found here.

The hydrosphere is only the water component and the atmosphere only the air layer, while environment is a broad term for all surroundings, so none of them names this meeting zone.
