Data link layer is divided into two sublayers that is logical link control sublayer and media access control sublayer( I think you must have typed it wrong while writing, as there is no such thing like Medium Access Control Sublayer).

Logical Link control sublayer :- It provides an interface with the network layer protocols, manages flow control and issues a request for transmission for data that has suffered errors.

Media Access Control Sublayer :- It manage access to the physical medium. It appends the physical address of the destination computer onto the data frame.

So, Option (c) will be correct that is Media Access Control Sublayer.
