A.
Transport layer
B.
Network layer
C.
Session layer
D.
Physical layer
E.
Presentation layer
F.
Data link layer
Explanation:
The lowest layer of the OSI Reference Model is the physical layer, which is responsible for the
“nitty gritty” details of transmitting information from one place to another on a network. The layer
just above the physical layer is the data link layer, called the network interface layer or just the link
layer in the TCP/IP architectural model. Its primary job is to implement networks at the local level,
and to interface between the hardware-oriented physical layer, and the more abstract, softwareoriented functions of the network layer and those above it.
