Answer»

Correct option is (c) Database descriptor sequence NUMBER

The explanation is: Sequence number field is used to detect a missing packet. The packets are to be received in ORDER of the sequence number, so if the receiver DETECTS that there is a sequence number skipped or missing in the order, it STOPS PROCESSING the further received packets and informs the sender to retransmit the packets in sequence.
