C
1 is data, 2 is a bit, 3 is data.
D
1 is a packet, 2 is data, 3 is a frame.

Explanation

A packet contains an IP address in its network-layer header and does not have a footer, so piece 1 is a packet. Piece 2 has no headers, which fits data before protocol headers are added. A frame includes a footer, so piece 3 is a frame. Therefore, the correct choice is D: packet, data, frame.
