-
Session layer
-
Application layer
-
Network layer
-
Data link layer
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Data link layer is responsible for resolving the problems due to damage or loss of duplicate frames. Data link layer uses methods such as addition of special bits patterns and acknowledgement receiving.
