Which of the following OSI model layers would allow a user to access and download files from a remote computer?

Answer options

• A. Session
• B. Presentation
• C. Network

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Application, as this layer provides the interface for users to interact with network services, including file access and downloads. The Session layer (A) manages sessions between applications, the Presentation layer (B) formats data for presentation, and the Network layer (C) handles data routing, none of which directly facilitate file downloading.
