CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 749

Which of the following is associated with the session layer of the OSI model?

Answer options

• A. Data representation
• B. Packets
• C. Sockets
• D. Frames

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The session layer is responsible for establishing, managing, and terminating sessions between applications. Sockets are used to facilitate this communication and are therefore associated with the session layer. The other options refer to different layers in the OSI model: data representation relates to the presentation layer, packets are linked to the network layer, and frames are associated with the data link layer.
