Which is the only layer of OSI model that prevents itself from adding its own header to the data during the data transmission process ?

  • A.Application layer
  • B.Network layer
  • C.Physical layer
  • D.Transport layer

Answer: C

The only layer that adds no header is the Physical layer.

As data passes down the OSI stack, each layer from application to data link adds its own control information: the transport layer adds a segment header with ports, the network layer a packet header with logical addresses, and the data link layer both a header and a trailer to form a frame.

The physical layer simply turns the bits of the frame into signals on the medium; it does not add a header of its own. So the application, network and transport layers are wrong.
