List-I List-II
(a) Bridge (i) Physical layer
(b) HUB (ii) Data link layer
(c) Router (iii) Network Layer
(d) Gateway (iv) Transport Layer
(v) Application Layer


(A) (a) – (ii), (b) – (i), (c) – (iii), (d) – (iv)
(B) (a) – (iii), (b) – (ii), (c) – (iii), (d) – (v)
(C) (a) – (i), (b) – (ii), (c) – (iv), (d) – (iv)
(D) None of these


Answer: (D)

Explanation: Network Devices used in each layer are:

  1. Physical layer: Hubs, Repeaters
  2. Datalink layer: Bridges, 2-layer switches.
  3. Network layer: Routers, Brouters, 3-layer switches
  4. Application layer: Gateways

Therefore, (a) – (ii), (b) – (i), (c) – (iii), (d) – (iv).
