Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

  • The physical layer, lowest layer, in the OSI model is concerned with the transmission and reception of the unstructured raw bit stream (rather than logical data packets) over a physical medium. The hit stream may be grouped in to code words or symbols and converted to a physical signal that is transmitted over a hardware transmission medium.
