In the OSI model, what is the distinction between the Transport layer's 'end-to-end' delivery and the Network layer's 'hop-by-hop' delivery?

• A.Both layers provide identical delivery semantics; the difference is only in terminology.
• B.End-to-end means the same physical cable connects both hosts; hop-by-hop means wireless is used.
• C.Hop-by-hop delivery is provided by the Transport layer; end-to-end is provided by the Data Link layer.
• D.The Network layer (L3) is responsible for hop-by-hop forwarding: each router only examines the destination IP and forwards to the next hop, without knowing the ultimate path. The Transport layer (L4) provides end-to-end logical communication between the two application processes, maintaining state (sequence numbers, acknowledgments) regardless of how many hops the data traverses.
