Correct answer: C. B A D E C
Explanation
From bottom to top, the relevant OSI layers are Physical, Data Link, Network, Transport and Application. 'Transmission of bits over the communication channel' (B) is the Physical layer's job, so it comes first. 'Transforming datagrams into frames' (A) is Data Link layer framing, placed next. 'Control and monitoring of the subnet' (D) is a Network layer responsibility (e.g. routing/congestion control), followed by 'transmission of data using a connection-oriented or connection-less protocol' (E), which is the Transport layer's job. 'Handling the user interface' (C) belongs to the Application layer at the top. So the bottom-to-top order is B A D E C.More Data Communication and Computer Networks questions
