Explanation

Layer 3 is the Network layer of the OSI model. The Protocol Data Unit (PDU) at Layer 3 is the packet, which contains source and destination IP addresses. Routers operate at Layer 3 because they make forwarding decisions based on IP addresses. NICs and cables exist at Layer 1 (Physical), switches and frames exist at Layer 2 (Data Link). Understanding which PDU and device belong to each OSI layer is a foundational networking concept.
