B. Parity check

C. Redundancy check

Explanation:

A redundancy check detects transmission errors by appending calculated bits onto the end of each segment of data.

A parity check is a hardware control that detects data errors when data are read from one computer to another, from memory or during transmission.

Check digits detect transposition and transcription errors.
