Identify the ONE CORRECT matching between the OSI layers and their corresponding functionalities as shown.
OSI LayersFunctionalities
(a) Network layer(I) Packet routing
(b) Transport layer(II) Framing and error handling
(c) Datalink layer(III) Host to host communication
A
(a)-(I), (b)-(II), (c)-(III)
B
(a)-(I), (b)-(III), (c)-(II)
C
(a)-(II), (b)-(I), (c)-(III)
D
(a)-(III), (b)-(II), (c)-(I)

Correct : b

Network layer (a): Responsible for packet routing between networks, determining the best path for data transmission from source to destination. This matches functionality (I) - Packet routing.

Transport layer (b): Provides host-to-host communication, ensuring end-to-end delivery of data between processes on different hosts. This matches functionality (III) - Host to host communication.

Data link layer (c): Handles framing of data into frames and provides error detection and correction mechanisms for reliable transmission over the physical medium. This matches functionality (II) - Framing and error handling.

Therefore, the correct matching is: Network layer with Packet routing, Transport layer with Host to host communication, and Data link layer with Framing and error handling.

βœ… Final Answer: Option (B) β€” (a)-(I), (b)-(III), (c)-(II).

Reason: Each OSI layer has specific functions: Network layer routes packets, Transport layer provides host-to-host communication, and Data link layer handles framing and error control.
