At the Data Link Layer, computers use MAC (Media Access Control) addresses, which are unique identifiers assigned to network interfaces for communication on a local network. These addresses are typically 48 bits long and are represented in hexadecimal format. MAC addresses facilitate the delivery of data frames between devices on the same network segment, ensuring that data reaches the correct destination within a local area network (LAN).

Data Link Layer...
The data link layer header contains the source's physical address. It refers the address that is found in the Network Interface Card.
Network Layer This layer addresses the data. It adds an IP address which allows our data to flow across networks. The protocols involved in this layer are IP and IPX. Data Link Layer This layer provides the functional and procedural means to transfer data. It also corrects any errors that may occur in the Physical layer. The protocols used at this layer are media access control and logical link control.

The OSI model attempts to explain the way in which computers communicate. The layers are as follows: Application Layer Data Layer Transmission Layer Computer Layer Keyboard Layer Electric Layer Hacking Layer
The MAC sublayer is part of Layer 2 - Data Link Layer - but it is more correct to say that the MAC address is the physical address.
The MAC address would place it at the data link layer of the OSI model.
