Selected Answer: A
A. It relies upon other layers for packet delivery. The application layer in the OSI model is the topmost layer that provides the interface for end-user processes and applications to communicate over the network. It does not handle packet delivery directly; instead, it relies on the lower layers (like the transport and network layers) to ensure data is properly packaged, addressed, and transported.

Selected Answer: C
C. It encrypts data in transit. The application layer is responsible for providing network services directly to end-users or applications. One of the characteristics of the application layer is the ability to encrypt data in transit to ensure secure communication. Encryption is a process of encoding data to make it secure and confidential during transmission over the network. This is commonly seen in secure communication protocols used by applications such as HTTPS (HTTP Secure) for secure web browsing.
