Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C. B, D, A, C, E

Explanation

The OSI model, from bottom to top, has seven layers: Physical, Data Link, Network, Transport, Session, Presentation, Application. Restricting to the five layers listed here and keeping their relative order gives: Physical (B), Data Link (D), Network (A), Presentation (C), Application (E). So the correct bottom-to-top order is B, D, A, C, E, which is option (3).
