Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Correct answer: synchronization (note spelling).
Session layer services include:
Dialog control β manages who communicates and when (full-duplex, half-duplex, and dialog establishment/termination).
Token management β controls access tokens to prevent collisions when multiple parties share a session.
Synchronization β insertion of synchronization points (checkpoints) into a data exchange so long transactions can be resumed from the last checkpoint after an interruption.
Why the other choices are incorrect:
Flow control is a transport-layer function (for example, TCP sliding window), not a session-layer service.
Error detection and correction are handled primarily by the data link and transport layers; the session layer does not perform low-level error correction.
The term spelled as "asyncronization" is incorrect and misleading; the intended and correct service is synchronization.
