Gas Chromatogram

Please refer to the attachments provided.
When I did the gas chromatogram, I made a careless mistake, by not labeling the printout(A-D); A-C the 3 distillation fractions and D the undistilled residue.
On the 1st printout w/ 4 peaks, I know that the highest peak is A and on the printout w/ two peaks I think the peak on the rt is B.
I am asking for help in deciphering C & D.
It's also possible that one of the peaks is a repeat.
Regardless, I would like to understand what each of the peaks should like.
