Which characteristic of the network layer in the OSI model allows carrying packets for multiple types of communications among many hosts?

• the de-encapsulation of headers from lower layers
• the selection of paths for and direct packets toward the destination
• the ability to operate without regard to the data that is carried in each packet
• the ability to manage the data transport between processes running on hosts

Explanation: The function of the network layer protocols specifies the packet structure and processing used to carry the data from one host to another host. The actual communication data is encapsulated in the network layer PDU. The feature of its operation without regard to the data carried in each packet allows the network layer to carry packets for multiple types of communications.
