Answer 1

The correct answer is: The Bluetooth security layer negotiates the security mechanism.

When pairing two Bluetooth devices, a security negotiation process occurs to determine how the devices will securely communicate with each other. This includes establishing the security levels, encryption, and authentication methods that will be used during their connection. While a PIN may also be involved in some cases, it is part of the overall negotiation process handled by the Bluetooth security layer.
