C
Send window size 1 and receiving window size N
D
Send window size N and receiving window size 1
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The size of the sending window determines the sequence number of the outbound frames. If the sequence number of the frames is an n-bit field, then the range of sequence numbers that can be assigned is 0 to 2n−1. Consequently, the size of the sending window is 2n−1.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Receiver window in Go Back N ARQ protocol is always of size 1. This means that the receiver takes at most 1 frame at a single time.

Detailed explanation-3: -So, we use the Selective Repeat ARQ protocol. In this protocol, the size of the sender window is always equal to the size of the receiver window. The size of the sliding window is always greater than 1.
