D is the way to go, folks. PPP is all about the nuts and bolts of data transmission, and that's the data-link layer's domain.

I'm not sure, but I think PPP works on the Transport layer.

Haha, imagine if PPP was in the session layer. That would be like trying to drive a car with your eyes closed! Definitely D, the data-link layer.

Agreed, it wouldn't make sense for it to be on the session layer.

I'd bet my last dollar on D. The data-link layer is where PPP does its magic, making sure your bits and bytes get where they need to go.

Hmm, I'm going to go with D. PPP is all about getting data from one point to another, so it's gotta be the data-link layer.

Yeah, PPP is all about connecting two points, so data-link layer is the right choice.

Data-link layer, no doubt! PPP is like the bridge between your computer and the network, keeping everything flowing smoothly.
