B.The kinesin head with ATP is bound to tubulin, and the kinesin head with ADP is ready to move aheaD.
C.Conformation change in the neck linkers flipping the trailing head to the next tubulin binding sitE.
D.ADP and P_i dissociation and ATP binds leading head.

The correct sequence for kinesin movement along a microtubule involves the kinesin head with ATP bound to tubulin and the kinesin head with ADP ready to move ahead, followed by a conformation change in the neck linkers flipping the trailing head to the next tubulin binding site, then the leading head binds a new site on tubulin with ADP dissociation, and finally, ADP and phosphate dissociation and ATP binds leading head.
