Which layer encapsulates the segment into packets or datagrams?

Step 3: The Network layer (in the OSI model) or the Internet layer (in the TCP/IP model) takes the data packet or datagram from the Data-Link layer. It de-encapsulates the data packets and checks the packet header whether the packet is routed to the correct destination or not.
