Why each option
The Intel Core 2 Duo processor requires an LGA 775 (also written LGA 755 in this question) socket on the motherboard, as that is the socket Intel designed for that processor family.
Intel Core 2 Duo processors use the LGA 775 socket (the question contains a minor typographical error showing '755'). LGA 775 was Intel's mainstream desktop socket from 2004 to 2012, designed specifically for Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad, Pentium 4, and related processors. No other listed socket is compatible with this CPU.
LGA 1155 is the socket for Intel's Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge processors (Core i3/i5/i7 2nd and 3rd gen), not Core 2 Duo.
LGA 1156 is the socket for Intel's Lynnfield and Clarkdale processors (Core i3/i5/i7 1st gen), not Core 2 Duo.
LGA 1366 is the socket for Intel's Bloomfield and Gulftown high-end desktop processors (Core i7 Extreme), not Core 2 Duo.
