B)Receptor position
C)Vertical angulation
D)Receptor exposure

Receptor placement,the first basic rule of paralleling,indicates the receptor must be positioned to cover the area of teeth to be examined.Receptor position,the second basic rule of paralleling,indicates the receptor must be positioned parallel to the long axis of the tooth.Vertical angulation,the third basic rule of paralleling,indicates the central ray of the x-ray beam must be directed perpendicular (at a right angle)to the receptor and the long axis of the tooth.Receptor exposure,the fifth basic rule of paralleling,indicates the x-ray beam must be centered on the receptor to ensure that all areas are exposed.
