Option (A) is valid. 


Flow Control → responsible for how much data to be transmitted from sender and receive Acknowledgment. 

Error control → traces out how much data to be retransmitted in case any failure / error is deteced which Go-Back-N ARQ or SR ARQ does. 

All ARQ (automatic repeat request) mechanism supports error control.  

Stop and Wait does not support error control mechanism. ( more read : https://www.javatpoint.com/stop-and-wait-protocol ) 

Simplest Protocol does not support Flow Control.
