How is the IP protocol used?
A
This protocol is used on the transport layer. It is responsible for packet switching.
B
This protocol is used on the network layer. It is responsible for packet switching.
C
This protocol is used on the transport layer. It is in charge of splitting data into packets and reassembling once it reaches the receiving device.
D
This protocol is used on the network layer. It is in charge of splitting data into packets and reassembling once it reaches the receiving device.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In connection-oriented packet switching, also called virtual circuit switching or circuit switching, data packets are first assembled and then numbered. They then travel across a predefined route, sequentially. Address information is not needed in circuit switching, because all packets are sent in sequence.

Detailed explanation-2: -IP is commonly paired with TCP to form TCP/IP, the overall internet protocol suite. Together, IP sends packets to their destinations, and TCP arranges the packets in the correct order, as IP sometimes sends packets out of order to ensure the packets travel the fastest ways.
