The Application Layer (Layer 7 of the OSI model) provides network services directly to end-user applications. Its role includes handling protocols that enable specific network applications. The Application Layer specifies how these applications interact with the network to send and receive data.

A is correct. The primary role of the application layer, the top layer in the OSI model, is to provide network services to user applications, enabling them to communicate and interact with each other and with network resources. It implements protocols that define how applications communicate, such as HTTP for web browsing, SMTP for email, and FTP for file transfer.
