Which of the following types of data can be used to map the locations of genes on chromosomes?
A. Segregation Frequency
B. Rate of Gene Regulation
C. Dominance Patterns
D. Rate of Gene recombination
E. Rate of Gene expression
I think it is A, but I don't know if I am sure.

I'd say D. rate of gene recombination.
If the genes don't recombine very often, then they must be closer together on the chromosome. If they recombine often, indicating that crossing over happened more often between the two genes, then they must be farther apart on the chromosome.

Answer is D.
To "map" the location of gene, you always need multiple genes. "Recombination", by definition, involve more than one gene.
Segregation can be about one gene only, which cannot allow you to "map".
