  4. None of the above

B is the correct answer.

15. Which of the following statements correctly describe the process of data encapsulation in the OSI model? (Choose any two)

  1. The presentation layer translates the data into a common format and performs encryption and compression.
  2. The physical layer adds the physical address to the data frames and transmits them through the communication media.
  3. The transport layer splits the data into smaller chunks called segments and adds TCP or UDP header before passing it to the lower layer.
  4. All of the above statement is correct.

A and C  are the correct answers.

16. The following statement describes the characteristics of the UDP protocol of the OSI model (Choose any three)

  1. UDP is considered to be connectionless because it does not establish any dedicated connection between the hosts before sending the segments.
