   A network architect is comparing the OSI and TCP/IP models to decide which to use for a new network documentation standard. The architect notes that the OSI model is more modular and allows for easier troubleshooting, while the TCP/IP model is more practical and reflects real-world protocols. Which of the following is a valid reason to prefer the OSI model for documentation?

   • AThe OSI model has fewer layers, making it simpler to understand
   • BThe OSI model combines the upper layers, making it easier to implement
   • CThe OSI model is the only model that supports modern protocols like TCP and IP
   • DThe OSI model separates the Presentation and Session layers, allowing for more granular troubleshooting

   A web server sends an HTTP response to a client's browser. As the response data travels down the TCP/IP stack on the server, headers are added at each layer. Which sequence correctly describes the order in which headers are added during encapsulation?

   • ATCP header, then Ethernet header, then IP header
   • BEthernet header, then IP header, then TCP header
   • CTCP header, then IP header, then Ethernet header
   • DIP header, then TCP header, then Ethernet header
