What term describes the following? a conceptual framework that standardizes network communication into seven layers.

Difficulty: Hard

About this MCQ

This Hard Computer Networks MCQ checks one syllabus fact.

The question is: “What term describes the following? a conceptual framework that standardizes network communication into seven layers.”

The accepted answer is A. OSI model. OSI model is the fact required by “What term describes the following? a conceptual framework that standardizes network communication into seven layers.” (option A). Option B (“UDP”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of OSI model. Option C (“Firewall”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of OSI model. Remaining alternatives (MAC address) fall outside the same rule and should be eliminated once OSI model is identified. Computer Networks questions of this type reward precise definitions rather than approximate associations. Computer Networks recall of this distinction is a regular item in FPSC, PPSC, NTS, and CSS papers.

Correct answer

A. OSI model

Explanation

OSI model is the fact required by “What term describes the following? a conceptual framework that standardizes network communication into seven layers.” (option A). Option B (“UDP”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of OSI model. Option C (“Firewall”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of OSI model. Remaining alternatives (MAC address) fall outside the same rule and should be eliminated once OSI model is identified. Computer Networks questions of this type reward precise definitions rather than approximate associations. Computer Networks recall of this distinction is a regular item in FPSC, PPSC, NTS, and CSS papers.
