I agree that TRANSPORT Layer is the correct answer, but if the question asks for TWO Layers, Application is NOT the 2nd!
From Harris: “SSL is made up of two protocols—one works in the lower portion of the session layer and the other works in the transport layer. For purposes of the CISSP exam, SSL resides in the transport layer.”

Of course, Application/Transport Layers work just fine if we’re using the TCP/IP and NOT OSI Model.

It should be Session and Transport of the OSI Model.
or
Application and Host-to-host (transport) of the TCP/IP model.
Unfortunately based on the question, there is no correct answer here. (although “C” is probably the best choice).
