Detailed Solution

Since –COOH group is attached to alanine, one terminal of the tetrapeptide contains alanine. Thus its position is fixed 
glycine-Achiral
valinephenyl   alanine} chiral. Thus  NH2  group attached to either valine (or) phenyl alanine
Possible combinations
H2N-val-Gly-phe-ala-COOH
H2N-val-phe-Gly-Ala-COOH
H2N-phe-Gly-val-Ala-COOH
H2N-phe-val-Gly-Ala-COOH
