Explanation:

The data link layer of the OSI model deals with physical addressing. A MAC (Media - Access Control) address is a unique physical address assigned to a Network Interface Card (NIC), which is relevant to the data link layer functions. An attached Ethernet cable is a physical connection, the TCP/IP protocol stack is related to higher - layer networking, an RJ - 45 port is a physical port, and an IP address is relevant to the network layer.

A. MAC address
