C.
mount point; filesystem type; device name; mount options; dump filesystem; fsck order
D.
device name; mount point; mount options; filesystem type; dump filessystem; fsck order
E.

Explanation:
From the man pages:
The first field, (fs_spec), describes the block special device or remote filesystem to be mounted.
The second field, (fs_file), describes the mount point for the filesystem. For swap partitions, this
field should be specified as `none’.
The third field, (fs_vfstype), describes the type of the filesystem.
The fourth field, (fs_mntops), describes the mount options associated with the filesystem.
The fifth field, (fs_freq), is used for these filesystems by the dump(8) command to determine which
filesystems need to be dumped.
The sixth field, (fs_passno), is used by the fsck(8) program to determine the order in which
filesystem checks are done at reboot time.
