The following is taken from $\textit{Module Theory An Approach to Linear Algebra}$ By: T.S.Blyth

$\color{Green}{Background:}$

$\textbf{Theorem 3.9:}$ $\textbf{[The four lemma]}$ Suppose that the diagram of $R-$modules and $R-$morphisms:

$$\begin{array}{ccccccccc} A & \xrightarrow{f} & B & \xrightarrow{g} & C   \xrightarrow{h} & D     \\ \big\downarrow\alpha &  & \big\downarrow\beta &  & \big\downarrow \gamma &  \big\downarrow \delta & \\ A' & \xrightarrow{f'}& B' & \xrightarrow{g'} & C'   \xrightarrow{h'} & D'\end{array}$$

is commutative and has exact rows. Then we have

$(1)$ if $\alpha, \gamma$ are epimorphisms and $\delta$ is a monomorphism then $\beta$ is an epimorphism

$(2)$ If $\alpha$ is an epimorphism and $\beta, \delta$ are monomorphisms then $\gamma$ is a monomorphism

$\textit{Proof.}$ $(1)$ Let $b'\in B'.$ Since $\gamma$ is surjective there exists $c\in C$ such that $g'(b')=\gamma(c).$ By the commutativeity of the right-hand square we then have $\delta[h(c)]=h'[\gamma(c)]=h'[g'(b')]=0,$ since $h'\circ g'=0.$ Thus:

$\color{Red}{Questions:}$

I have a quick question about the partial proof of the Theorem above. The line

"$\delta[h(c)]=h'[\gamma(c)]=h'[g'(b')]=0$ since $h'\circ g'=0$".

What is the reason that we can conclude

"$\delta[h(c)]=h'[\gamma(c)]=h'[g'(b')]=0,$"?

Is it because

$(1)$ Commutativity of the square

$(2)$ Commutativity of the square and that $\delta$ is a epimorphism, and hence the string of equalities allow for the map $D\xrightarrow{\delta}D'$ to be extended to the zero morphism $D'\to 0$ in order to make it exact, so that $\delta\circ h=0$ and in turn $h'\circ g'=0?$

Thank you in advance

On BEST ANSWER

It is too much back and forth in the comments. The answer to the original question is commutativity of the right square and exactness at $C'$, but the question now seems to be what exactness means.

Given a sequence of abelian groups or $R$-modules (this can be more general):

$A\xrightarrow{f}B\xrightarrow{g}C\space$ (this can be part of a longer sequence including an infinite one)

the sequence is exact at $B$ if $Im\space f = Ker\space g$.

$Im\space f \subseteq Ker\space g$ is equivalent to $g\circ f =0$.

$Ker\space g \subseteq Im \space f$ means that any element sent to $0$ by $g$ comes from some element in $A$ via $f$.

$A$ or $C$ being $0$ are special cases where $g$ is injective and $f$ is surjective, respectively.

That's it and the link to Wikipedia in the first comment includes this and more.
