Which of the following best describe the functions of Layer 2 of the OSI model? (Choose two.)

The correct answer is A. Local addressing D. Error detecting. Layer 2 assigns physical addresses (MAC addresses) to network interface cards (NICs) for devices on a local network. These addresses are used for device-to-device communication within the same network segment. Layer 2 includes error-detection mechanisms to ensure that data…

Explanation

Layer 2 assigns physical addresses (MAC addresses) to network interface cards (NICs) for devices on a local network. These addresses are used for device-to-device communication within the same network segment. Layer 2 includes error-detection mechanisms to ensure that data transmitted over the physical medium is free from errors or corruption. This error detection (not correction), ensures data
