Does the application gateway firewall function only on the application layer or on all layers of the OSI model?

Does the application gateway firewall function only on the application layer or on all layers of the OSI model?

This is very confusing. I am seeing 2 different things in various books and sites.

A. Application gateway firewall scans layer 1 to layer 7 of the OSI model.

B. Application gateway firewall only scans Application Layer (Or Application, Presentation and Session Layer) data.

I asked many people and they, also, were not too sure about it.

This figure doesn't help with the confusion
