Understanding the Statements
To evaluate the correctness of the statements, we need to understand the functions of different layers in the OSI model.
Statement I: Network Layer Responsibilities
- The network layer is primarily responsible for routing and forwarding packets, not for maintaining connection semantics.
- Conclusion: False.
Statement II: Transport Layer Recovery
- The transport layer is indeed responsible for ensuring reliable communication. It handles lost packets through mechanisms like acknowledgments and retransmissions.
- Conclusion: True.
Statement III: Data Link Control Responsibilities
- Data link control handles error detection and correction between directly connected nodes but does not manage recovery for packets over multiple hops. This is a function of the transport layer, not data link control.
- Conclusion: False.
Statement IV: Arbitration in Networks
- Arbitration is essential in networks where multiple nodes share the same communication medium. Protocols like CSMA/CD manage access and resolve conflicts among nodes.
- Conclusion: True.
Final Evaluation
- Only statements II and IV are true.
- Therefore, the correct answer is option 'D', which states that recovering lost packets between two directly connected nodes is done by the transport layer, and arbitration is performed between multiple nodes on a single medium.
This breakdown clarifies the responsibilities of each layer, validating why options I and III are incorrect.
