A
Application
B
Transport
C
IP
D
none of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The PDU for UDP is the datagram. Instead of dividing data into packets (which is the PDU for TCP), data transmitted using UDP is divided into datagrams which are then routed over the Internet and received on the receiver’s end.

Detailed explanation-2: -User datagram protocol (UDP) operates on top of the Internet Protocol (IP) to transmit datagrams over a network. UDP does not require the source and destination to establish a three-way handshake before transmission takes place.

Detailed explanation-3: -User datagram protocol (UDP) is used for time-critical data transmissions such as DNS lookups, online gaming, and video streaming. This communication protocol boosts transfer speeds by removing the need for a formal two-way connection before the data transmission begins.
