The correct answer is: D. physical layer
The physical layer is the lowest layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model. It is responsible for the physical transmission of data between devices. This includes the physical medium over which data is transmitted, such as twisted pair wire, coaxial cable, or fiber optic cable, as well as the electrical and mechanical specifications for the connection between devices.
The network layer is responsible for routing data through a network. It does this by breaking data up into smaller packets, each of which is labeled with the destination address. The packets are then routed through the network, one at a time, until they reach their destination.
The transport layer is responsible for ensuring that data is delivered reliably from one end to the other. It does this by providing error detection and correction, as well as flow control.
The link layer is responsible for providing a reliable connection between two devices. It does this by framing data into packets, and by adding error detection and correction codes.
None of the above is the correct answer.
