Quizplus · Accepted Answer

TLS (Transport Layer Security) provides security at the transport layer of the OSI model, which is responsible for end-to-end communication between hosts. It is designed to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of data transmitted between two communicating applications. Therefore, option B is the correct choice. Options A and C are incorrect because they refer to the network layer and application layer, respectively, which are not related to TLS. Option D is also incorrect because TLS is a security protocol, and it provides security at the transport layer.
