A
checksum
B
sequence number
C

D
flow control
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -What information is used by TCP to reassemble and reorder received segments? At the transport layer, TCP uses the sequence numbers in the header of each TCP segment to reassemble the segments into the correct order.

Detailed explanation-2: -TCP packet reassembly is done using the simplest imaginable mechanism: a counter. Each packet is assigned a sequence number when it’s sent. On the receiving side, the packets are put in order by sequence number. Once they’re all in order, with no gaps, we know the whole file is present.
