The correct answer is
D, C, B, A
Ordering Protocols in the TCP/IP Stack
The TCP/IP model organizes network communication into layers. Understanding the function of each protocol within these layers is key to determining their order.
Protocol Layer Mapping
- D. MAC Address: Operates at the Link Layer (or Data Link Layer), the lowest layer responsible for physical addressing and accessing the network medium.
- C. IP (Internet Protocol): Operates at the Internet Layer (or Network Layer), handling logical addressing (IP addresses) and routing packets across networks.
- B. TCP (Transmission Control Protocol): Operates at the Transport Layer, providing reliable, ordered, and error-checked delivery of data between applications.
- A. HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol): Operates at the Application Layer, the highest layer, which interacts directly with user applications to provide network services.
TCP/IP Layer Order
Arranging these from the lowest layer (Link) to the highest layer (Application) gives the sequence:
- Link Layer: MAC Address (D)
- Internet Layer: IP (C)
- Transport Layer: TCP (B)
- Application Layer: HTTP (A)
Therefore, the correct order is D, C, B, A.
