A.
asynchronous balanced mode (ABM)

B.
normal response mode (NRM)

C.
normal peer mode (NPM)

D.
asynchronous client mode (ACM)

E.
asynchronous response mode (ARM)

Explanation:
Normal response mode allows operation over half-duplex communication links, as
long as the primary is aware that it may not transmit when it has given permission to a secondary.
Asynchronous response mode is an HDLC addition[1] for use over full-duplex links. While
retaining the primary/secondary distinction, it allows the secondary to transmit at any time.
Asynchronous balanced mode added the concept of a combined terminal which can act as both a
primary and a secondary. There are some subtleties about this mode of operation; while many
features of the protocol do not care whether they are in a command or response frame, some do,
and the address field of a received frame must be examined to determine whether it contains a
command (the address received is ours) or a response (the address received is that of the other
terminal).
