A
stream control transmission protocol
B
internet control message protocol
C
neighbor discovery protocol
D
dynamic host configuration protocol
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) is a transport-layer protocol that ensures reliable, in-sequence transport of data. SCTP provides multihoming support where one or both endpoints of a connection can consist of more than one IP address.

Detailed explanation-2: -2. Which of the following are transport layer protocols used in networking? Explanation: Both TCP and UDP are transport layer protocol in networking.

Detailed explanation-3: -In contrast, TCP is a stream-oriented protocol, transporting streams of bytes reliably and in order. However TCP does not allow the receiver to know how many times the sender application called on the TCP transport passing it groups of bytes to be sent out.

Detailed explanation-4: -The transport layer controls the reliability of communications through flow control, segmentation, and error control. Two great examples of transport protocols are TCP (as in TCP/IP) and UDP.
