Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Correct mapping: For a user browsing with SSL, the layer-to-protocol assignments are:
Application layer: HTTP (when SSL/TLS is used this becomes HTTPS)
Transport layer: TCP
Network layer: IP
Datalink layer: PPP
Note: SSL/TLS operates between the application and transport layers (presentation layer role), so the application protocol remains HTTP but is carried over TLS as HTTPS.
