A)0, 200, 500, 600
B)0, 200, 1000, 1600
C)200, 500, 600, 800
D)200, 700, 1300, 2100

The relocation constant for the first module is 0 because it is the starting point. For the second module, it is 200 (the length of the first module). For the third module, it is 200 + 800 = 1000 (the sum of the lengths of the first and second modules). For the fourth module, it is 200 + 800 + 600 = 1600 (the sum of the lengths of the first, second, and third modules).
