Oxygen and silicon
In terms of weight, iron makes up approximately 5% of the earths crust, the fourth most abundant element in the crust. However, remember Earth's Core is nearly all Iron.
it is the lithosphere
Carbon makes up about 0.2% of the Earth's crust by weight.
Igneous rocks make up about 95% of the Earth's crust.
Because it is less dense than the material that makes up the earth's crust, but more dense than the material that makes up the air.

The principle element found at the Earth's core is iron.
Silicates are the mineral group that make up the highest percentage of Earth's crust, accounting for about 90% of the crust by volume. They are composed of silicon and oxygen, the two most abundant elements in the Earth's crust.

With a very sizable iron core and a (by comparison) wafer-thin crust, I doubt that the earth's crust even approximates a full percentage point.
The largest layer of Earth's surface that is composed mostly of silicon, oxygen, magnesium, and iron is the mantle. The mantle is located between the Earth's crust and core and makes up about 84% of Earth's volume.
Carbon makes up approximately 0.03% of Earth's atmosphere and is the fourth most abundant element by mass in the planet's crust.
