Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Correct answer: Transport, Session, Presentation, and Application.
Lower three layers: Physical, Data Link, and Network mainly provide hop-to-hop transmission and routing support.
Upper four layers: Transport, Session, Presentation, and Application provide end-to-end communication services between hosts/applications.
Therefore, the host-to-host layers are Layers 4 to 7: Transport, Session, Presentation, and Application.
