The OSI layer that handles IP addresses is the Network layer, which is the third layer of the OSI model. This layer is responsible for routing packets across different networks and managing logical addressing, such as IP addresses, to ensure that data can be sent and received between devices on different networks. Additionally, it facilitates the selection of optimal paths for data transmission.
Layer 3 - network layer.
source and destination IP address
IP addresses are used primarily by layer 3 (network layer) of the OSI model for routine purposes.

DHCP runs at the application layer of the OSI model.
IP operates at layer 3, this is the NETWORK LAYER in the OSI Model. Network+ Guide to Networks Fifth Edition Ch02, pg56, Figure 2-7
Layer 3 of the OSI model. An ICMP header follows the IP header of the IP packet.
Layer 3 i.e, network layer of the OSI model is used to IP addressing.
It works the same on all Layer 1 media. IP encapsulates OSI Layer 4 data. IP can carry voice, video, and other types of data, but "media independent" refers to the OSI Layer 1 medium that carries the data across the networks. IP, or any other communication, can occur without a physical (OSI Layer 1) medium

TCP operates at Layer 4 which is Transport of the OSI Model!
