B
data and acknowledgement in the different packet
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Piggybacking is a process of attaching the acknowledgment with the data packet to be sent. Piggybacking reduces the bandwidth utilization of the network. Piggybacking acknowledgment also contains the data while pure acknowledgment only contains the acknowledgment.

Detailed explanation-2: -1 Answer. Piggybacking is a bi-directional data transmission technique in the network layer (OSI model). It makes the most of the sent data frames from receiver to emitter, adding the confirmation that the data frame sent by the sender was received successfully (ACK acknowledge). Hence, Option(B)Piggybacking.

Detailed explanation-3: -In reliable full-duplex data transmission, the technique of hooking up acknowledgments onto outgoing data frames is called piggybacking.

Detailed explanation-4: -The receiver waits until its network layer passes in the next data packet. The delayed acknowledgment is then attached to this outgoing data frame. This technique of temporarily delaying the acknowledgment so that it can be hooked with next outgoing data frame is known as piggybacking.
