D
Correct answer
Explanation
RPC (Remote Procedure Call) operates at the Session layer (Layer 5) of the OSI model. The Session layer is responsible for establishing, managing, and terminating communication sessions between applications. RPC provides a mechanism for a client to invoke a procedure on a remote server as if it were local, which is a session management function. While RPC functionality spans layers, its session management and communication control aspects align with the Session layer's responsibilities.
