I'm feeling confident about D. IPsec is like the bouncer of the network layer, making sure all the packets get to the party safely.

User 1: I think D is the correct answer too. IPsec does its thing on the network layer.

Haha, I bet Heather wishes she could just plug in the VPN on the physical layer and call it a day. But nope, gotta go with the network layer for this one.

Oh boy, this one's tricky. I was thinking application layer, but then I remembered IPsec is all about the underlying network protocols. Hmm, network layer it is!

I'm pretty sure IPsec tunnels work on the network layer, since they're all about secure IP packet transmission. Option D seems like the right answer here.
