Answer:Presentation layer

Explanation: Presentation layer is the sixth layer belonging to the OSI model. It has the functionality of presenting the data or information in a standard and formatted way. The syntax is usually error free, well defined and adequate and thus also called as syntax layer. Presentation layer works between the application layer and the network layer.

It also performs the services of compression, encryption, decryption etc.
