Correct option is D
The question asks us to match the
OSI model layers with their respective functions.
Detailed Solution
A. Data Link Layer → IV. Framing
The
Data Link Layer is responsible for reliable node-to-node delivery. One of its major functions is
framing, where the stream of bits received from the Physical Layer is divided into manageable units called frames.
B. Network Layer → III. Routing
The
Network Layer is responsible for delivering packets from the source network to the destination network. Its major function is
routing, i.e., determining the best path through the network.
C. Transport Layer → II. Connection Control
The
Transport Layer provides end-to-end communication between processes. It is associated with functions such as connection establishment, connection termination, flow control, error control, and reliable delivery.
D. Presentation Layer → I. Encryption
The
Presentation Layer is concerned with the representation and transformation of data. Its functions include
translation, encryption/decryption, and compression.
