  2. session, presentation, data transport, MAC, network, physical

  3. physical, data link, network, transport, session, presentation, application

  4. application, encryption, network, transport, logical link control, physical


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

To answer this question, the user needs to have an understanding of the OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) model, which is a conceptual framework used to describe how data is transmitted over a network. The model is divided into seven layers, and each layer is responsible for a specific aspect of the communication process.

Now, let's go through each option and explain why it is right or wrong:

A. application, presentation, session, transport, network, data link, physical: This option is correct. The OSI model layers, from top to bottom, are application, presentation, session, transport, network, data link, and physical. This sequence spells out the mnemonic "All People Seem To Need Data Processing," which can be used to help remember the order of the layers.

B. session, presentation, data transport, MAC, network, physical: This option is incorrect. The layers listed in this option are not in the correct order, and some of the layer names are incorrect. For example, "data transport" is not a layer in the OSI model, and "MAC" refers to the Media Access Control sublayer, which is part of the data link layer.

C. physical, data link, network, transport, session, presentation, application: This option is incorrect. The order of the layers is incorrect, starting with the physical layer and ending with the application layer.

D. application, encryption, network, transport, logical link control, physical: This option is incorrect. The layer names are not correct, and "encryption" is not a layer in the OSI model.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

The Answer is: A. application, presentation, session, transport, network, data link, physical.

Explanation:

To answer this question, the user needs to know about the different layers of the OSI model and their functions.

Error detection and recovery are functions that are performed at different layers of the OSI model, but the most common layer where it takes place is the Transport layer.

Options A, B, and E are incorrect because error detection and recovery do not take place at the Transport layer.

Option C, Data Link layer is also incorrect, because this layer is responsible for error detection and correction only for the local network segment.

Option D, Network layer is also incorrect, because this layer is responsible for routing and logical addressing.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

The Answer is: A (Transport)

  1. transport

  2. network

  3. data link

  4. presentation

  5. session


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

To answer this question, the user needs to know about the OSI model and the different layers.

The OSI model is a conceptual model that describes how data is transmitted over a network. It has seven layers, each of which has a specific role in the communication process. These layers are:

  1. Physical
  2. Data Link
  3. Network
  4. Transport
  5. Session
  6. Presentation
  7. Application

The IP (Internet Protocol) is implemented at the network layer of the OSI model.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

The Answer is: B. network

  1. application

  2. presentation

  3. transport

  4. netwrok

  5. data link


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

To answer this question, the user needs to have a basic understanding of the layers of the OSI model and their functions.

The layer that handles the formatting of application data so that it will be readable by the destination system is the presentation layer.

Explanation of each option:

A. application: The application layer is responsible for providing network services to the user's applications. It is the highest layer of the OSI model and includes protocols such as HTTP, FTP, SMTP, and Telnet. It does not handle the formatting of application data.

B. presentation: The presentation layer is responsible for the formatting and representation of data. It is responsible for converting data into a format that is readable by the destination system. This layer is also responsible for data encryption and compression. Therefore, option B is correct.

C. transport: The transport layer is responsible for the reliable transfer of data between two devices. It provides services such as segmentation, error recovery, and flow control. It does not handle the formatting of application data.

D. network: The network layer is responsible for the routing of data between devices on different networks. It is responsible for data addressing and packet forwarding. It does not handle the formatting of application data.

E. data link: The data link layer is responsible for the reliable transfer of data between two devices on the same network. It provides services such as error detection and correction, flow control, and access to the physical layer. It does not handle the formatting of application data.

Therefore, the answer is: B. presentation.

  1. network

  2. physical

  3. transport

  4. data link

  5. presentation


Correct Option: B
  1. physical

  2. network

  3. physical

  4. data link

  5. presentation


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

To answer this question, the user needs to have a basic understanding of the OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) model and its different layers.

Bit synchronization refers to the process of coordinating the start and end points of a data transmission between two devices. This ensures that the receiving device can properly interpret the transmitted data.

Now, let's consider each option and see which layer is responsible for bit synchronization:

A. Physical: This layer is responsible for the transmission and reception of raw bit streams over a physical medium. It deals with physical connections and electrical signals. Bit synchronization is indeed handled at this layer, so option A is a correct answer.

B. Network: This layer is responsible for the routing and forwarding of data packets between different networks. It does not deal with the physical transmission of data, so option B is incorrect.

C. Physical: This is just a repeat of option A, so it is also correct.

D. Data Link: This layer is responsible for the establishment and maintenance of reliable data links between adjacent nodes. While it does handle some aspects of bit-level synchronization, such as framing, it is not responsible for the overall synchronization of data transmission. Therefore, option D is incorrect.

E. Presentation: This layer is responsible for the translation, compression, and encryption of data. It has no role in the synchronization of data transmission, so option E is incorrect.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

The Answer is: A. physical

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

To evaluate the statement, we need to understand the concept of logical addresses and network interface cards (NICs).

Logical addresses are identifiers assigned to devices on a network. They are used to route data between devices. Network Interface Cards (NICs) are hardware components that connect devices to a network.

Now, let's go through each option and explain why it is right or wrong:

A. True: This option is incorrect. Most logical addresses, such as IP addresses, are not preset in network interface cards at the factory. Instead, they are assigned dynamically by network protocols or manually configured by network administrators.

B. False: This option is correct. Most logical addresses are not preset in network interface cards at the factory. They are assigned dynamically or manually configured.

The correct answer is: B. False

  1. the MAC sublayer of the data link layer

  2. transport

  3. physical

  4. network

  5. presentation


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

To solve this question, the user needs to have knowledge of the layers of the OSI model and their functions.

The layer that translates between physical and logical addresses is the network layer. This layer is responsible for routing and forwarding data packets between different networks. The network layer uses logical addresses, such as IP addresses, to identify different hosts on the network. These logical addresses are then translated into physical addresses, such as MAC addresses, by the data link layer. Thus, option D, network, is the correct answer.

Let's go through the other options to explain why they are incorrect:

A. the MAC sublayer of the data link layer: This option is incorrect because the MAC sublayer of the data link layer is responsible for controlling access to the physical network medium and for transmitting data frames between devices on the same network segment. It does not translate between physical and logical addresses.

B. transport: This option is incorrect because the transport layer is responsible for providing reliable data transfer between end systems, such as error recovery and flow control. It does not translate between physical and logical addresses.

C. physical: This option is incorrect because the physical layer is responsible for transmitting raw bit streams over a physical medium, such as copper or fiber optic cables. It does not translate between physical and logical addresses.

E. presentation: This option is incorrect because the presentation layer is responsible for data compression, encryption, and decryption. It does not translate between physical and logical addresses.

Therefore, the answer is: D. network.

  1. network

  2. session

  3. transport

  4. data link

  5. presentation


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The correct answer is C. transport.

The transport layer is responsible for packet sequencing, acknowledgments, and requests for retransmission. It ensures the reliable delivery of data between two hosts and establishes end-to-end connections, if required. The transport layer protocols, such as TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) and UDP (User Datagram Protocol), handle these functions.

Now, let's go through the other options and explain why they are not the correct answer:

A. network: The network layer is responsible for routing and forwarding packets across different networks. It does not handle packet sequencing, acknowledgments, or retransmission.

B. session: The session layer is responsible for establishing, maintaining, and terminating sessions or connections between applications. It does not handle packet sequencing, acknowledgments, or retransmission.

D. data link: The data link layer is responsible for the reliable transfer of data frames between adjacent network nodes. It does not handle packet sequencing, acknowledgments, or retransmission at the packet level.

E. presentation: The presentation layer is responsible for data formatting, encryption, and compression. It does not handle packet sequencing, acknowledgments, or retransmission.

Therefore, the correct answer is C. transport.
