To clarify, IPsec does provide authentication as one of its key functionalities. Therefore, the correct answer should not be option D (Authenticate). IPsec supports authentication through mechanisms like HMAC (Hashed Message Authentication Code) to ensure the integrity and authenticity of the data. The correct statement would be that IPsec does everything except: C. Work at the Data Link Layer

Answer: C IPsec is a suite of protocols that operate at the Internet Layer (Layer 3) of the OSI model, providing security for IP packet transmissions. It does not work at the Data Link Layer (Layer 2). IPsec can protect payload and headers, encrypt, and authenticate, but its functionality is limited to the Internet Layer.
