for a reply to questions, if you send a file and it does not get to the destination as supposed to, then maybe the packet is too large and will need to be decreased to smaller segments

Decrease the window size = This means the destination host is telling the source host to slow down when transferring the file as it is having issues processing all the information it is receiving.
B = Using a different source port has no effect on the connection itself.
C = Sequence numbers are arbitrary values that have no effect on the connection itself.
D = Because the connection is already established, we can rule out any issues with the source or destination IPs in the connection.
E = UDP is an unreliable protocol noted for its lack of data checks. We would not want to use this for this connection.
