Assuming IPv4 ICMP. Ping uses IP for transport. Ping in itself is an "Echo Request", which is a function of the ICMP protocol. The IP Packet will carry the ICMP protocol from end-to-end.
ICMP has a protocol number of 1, so the "Protocol" field in the IPv4 header will contain "1" as a reference to the ICMP payload.
For IPv6, ICMPv6 is used, and the transport will be IPv6.

What is the use of Transport layer protocol?
transport protocol control the transportation of data and choose the best way for transmit ion.
What is use at transport layer to identify protocol and services?
Port Number
Which protocol does DHCP use at the Transport layer?
UDP and ports 67 and 68.
Which is the widely used Transport-layer protocol that most Internet applications use with IP?
TCP
Why some application layer protocols using a specific transport layer protocol?
This is usually done because of the requirements of the data transfer. For example, FTP (file transfer protocol) will use TCP for transport because we want to make sure the data was transferred reliably. DNS will use UDP because we don't need the handshaking or connection based transport.
What protocol does ping use?
"Ping uses the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Echo function which is detailed in RFC 792"http://www.activexperts.com/activsocket/tutorials/ping/So the short answer is that it uses the ICMP protocol.
Which protocols does the ping program never use to carry its messages?
ping uses the ICMP protocol.
What layer of OSI model does HTTP operate?
HTTPS is not a separate protocol, but refers to use of ordinary HTTP over an encrypted Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) connection. So it really does not have a place per say, because it's not a protocol it's a hybrid. Or you can say it originates in the Application layer and then finishes in the Presentation layer.
The ping utility is the most common use of which protocol?
ICMP
What does the transport layer use?
In a standard networking protocol stack, the transport layer provides reliable transfer, fragmentation and de-fragmentation (when necessary), error detection and (within limits) recovery. Being located between the network layer (3) and the session layer (5) within the OSI network model, the transport layer uses services of both adjacent layers to facilitate uplink and downlink of the respective protocol data units.Many networking protocols do not strictly follow the OSI networking model, and may thus employ a different interpretation of transport layer.
What Network layer protocol does the trace route utility use to obtain information about paths between a source and destination?
It uses ICMP ECHO requests, aka ping.
What protocol does PPP use to identify the Network layer protocol?
Network Control Protocol is uses to identify the Network layer protocol used in the packet
