Hence, the correct answer is option “B”.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Layer 3:

  • In OSI model, network layer is also termed as Layer 3.
  • Network layer is used to deliver the messages from source to vital destination.
  • Network layer protocols transfers the message from source to destination.
    • It delivers the message from end-to-end.
    • It provides a universal addressing scheme for all nodes in the network and every node should use the same addressing scheme.
    • It provides a guarantee in the delivery of message in a point-to-point connection with the help of data link layer.

Explanation for incorrect options:

Layer 4:

  • In OSI model, transport layer is also termed as Layer 4.
  • The purpose of transport layer in OSI model is to provide the reliable transfer of data between two processes in the computer.
  • This layer ensures the error free delivery, no loss of data, and duplication.

Hence, the option “A” is wrong.

Layer 2:

  • In OSI model, data link layer is also termed as Layer 2.
  • It makes the transmission of data reliable provided by the physical layer.
  • For reliable transfer, it divides the data into data frames and transmits through the communication channel.
  • At the destination, it checks for the transmission error and send the acknowledgement to the source.

Hence, the option “C” is wrong.

Layer 1:

  • In OSI model, physical layer is also termed as Layer 1.
  • Physical layer is used for structuring the undefined data or information over the medium.
  • It defines about the interfaces related to the physical medium.

Hence, the option “D” is wrong.

Answer for this JAVA problem below: You are developing an application that helps coaches identify the player(s) with the highest number of points scored in a recent basketball game. To make your program more organized and maintainable, you will implement it using modular programming. To begin, Initialize two parallel arrays (hardcoded values): •  o Player Names: ["Jason", "Mia", "Sarah", "Liam", "Alex"] o Points Scored: [15, 22, 35, 22, 35] Once you have initialized the parallel arrays with values, implement the program using modular programming. Define the following methods: •  o Main method: Controls the overall flow of the program. o Find Maximum Score method: Takes the points scored array as input and returns the highest score. o Find Players method: Takes the player names array, points scored array, and the highest score as input and returns the list of player(s) with that score. o Display Function: Displays the highest score and the list of player(s) who earned it. The program…
