Under the subgroup in part (b), $(v,s)\in {\mathbb{R}}^4\oplus \mathbb{R}$ transforms as $(Rv,s)$, henceAn element of ${\mathfrak{so}}_5$ has the unique block formConjugation by $\iota (R)$ sends $(A,v)$ to $(RA{R}^{-1},Rv)$. Thusand the dimensions check as $5=4+1$ and $10=6+4$. These are the SO5 to SO4 branching rules.

Using ${\mathfrak{so}}_4\cong {\mathfrak{su}}_2\oplus {\mathfrak{su}}_2$, the five-dimensional vector representation restricts aswhich is the $4\oplus 1$ decomposition from part (c). The four-dimensional spin representation is naturally a representation of ${\mathfrak{so}}_5$ or $Spin(5)$ rather than an honest representation of $SO(5)$; it restricts asthe two chiral spin representations of ${\mathfrak{so}}_4$. Finally,namely the two three-dimensional summands of the $SO(4)$ adjoint plus its four-dimensional vector, agreeing with $10\to 6\oplus 4$ from the SO5 to SO4 branching calculation.
