In TCP/IP-based data communication, which header will be added to the data that passes through the transport layer?
The correct answer is A. In TCP/IP-based data communication, when data passes through the transport layer, either a TCP. Option A is correct because the transport layer in the TCP/IP model is responsible for end-to-end communication and adds either a TCP header (for reliable, connection-oriented delivery) or a UDP header (for faster, connectionless delivery) - forming what is called a segment…

Explanation
Option A is correct because the transport layer in the TCP/IP model is responsible for end-to-end communication and adds either a TCP header (for reliable, connection-oriented delivery) or a UDP header (for faster, connectionless delivery) - forming what is called a segment.
The other options are wrong because they confuse layers: an IP header is added at the network/internet layer (not transport), a MAC/frame header is added at the data link layer, and application-specific headers belong to the application layer - each layer handles its own encapsulation step.
Memory tip: Use the mnemonic "TCP Travels, IP Identifies, Frames Flow" - T for Transport (TCP/UDP), I for Internet/Network (IP), F for Frame (Data Link) - to remember which header belongs to which layer.
