Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
This layer is concerned with specifying the characteristics of the transmission medium, the nature of the signals, the data rate, and related matters. This is defined as a:
A
Physical layer
B
Network layer
C
Transport layer
D
Application layer
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The transport layer. The transport layer is responsible for transferring data across a network and provides error-checking mechanisms and data flow controls. It determines how much data to send, where it gets sent and at what rate.

Detailed explanation-2: -The physical layer helps you to define the electrical and physical specifications of the data connection. This level establishes the relationship between a device and a physical transmission medium.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Physical Layer in the Open System Interconnection (OSI) Layer Model is dedicated to data transmission in the network. There are three primary types of transmission modes based on the direction of exchange of information. The first is simplex, followed by half duplex, and finally full duplex.

Detailed explanation-4: -Physical Layer maintains the data rate (how many bits a sender can send per second). It performs Synchronization of bits. It helps in Transmission Medium decision (direction of data transfer).
