Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
SSL provides encryption, compression, and security, which are Presentation layer functions. SSL एन्क्रिप्शन, डिक्रिप्शन और डेटा सुरक्षा प्रदान करता है, जो प्रेज़ेंटेशन लेयर के कार्य हैं। Explanation: In the OSI model, the Presentation layer handles data representation tasks such as encryption/decryption, compression, and translation between data formats. SSL (and its successor TLS) provides encryption, authentication, and integrity services for application data, so it is commonly mapped to the Presentation layer in OSI. Confidentiality: encrypts data between endpoints.
