It depends on the cello, and how far it is out of tune. You can use an electronic tuner (one with a little needle to show how far out of tune) or you can use an electronic tuning tone generator, a tuning fork, pitch pipe or even a piano if you have one. Some beginner cellos have fine tuners on all four strings (these are the little screws sticking out of the triangular piece towards the bottom) all cellos have pegs which offer a wider (less precise) method of tuning, which should only be touched by someone experienced. You should leave it to a teacher to tune your cello correctly, and have them show you how, as it is very difficult to show you how over the internet.
The first chair 'cello sits to the right of the conductor.
A bass could, and you could also have another cello play the lower part. There are other cases where a violin/viola could also.
Open D on the cello is simply the 2nd string from the right. No fingering is needed.

Maggini and Cremona are the easiest to tune.
I would guess that it was written because cello is smooth sounding
It either is tightened or loosened
It’s frustrating when your new cello will not stay in tune. There are several reasons your cello isn’t staying in tune properly. Fortunately, the most common causes for your cello not staying in tune are easy to fix at home.The most common reason for your cello not staying in tune is also the easiest to remedy. If your cello is exposed to excessive heat, cold, or temperature changes, it will not stay in tune. As your cello heats up or cools down the strings will expand or contract. This will cause changes to their pitch. Make sure not to play or store your cello in a climate that you would not find comfortable. Don’t store your cello near air conditioning or heating vents. Don’t store your cello near an outside-facing wall.If your cello is still not staying in tune, your strings may be slipping. The remedy is affordable and easy. You will need to get some peg drops. Peg drops are available at most music supply stores. First, loosen the slipping string at the tuning peg until there is no pressure on the peg. Then, slide the peg out of the scroll about halfway, paying attention to where the peg comes in to contact with the scroll. Apply two drops of the peg drops to the peg where it makes contact with the scroll. Make sure to only apply two drops at a time. Applying too much can make the string too hard to tune. Tune the string back up to pitch. If the string still slips, repeat the process one drop at a time until it doesn’t slip.If you have followed the previous steps and your cello still won’t stay in tune, old strings may be the culprit. When your cello strings get old out, they will have dirt and other contaminates on the string that will affect your intonation. Changing your strings will bring better tone and intonation to your cello.Following these steps will make your cello stay in tune better. These steps also apply to violins and violas.
if the cello is out of tune, try the fine tuners that should be farther down than the bridge. If fingering is off try to match it with a piano or something.
You can use fingerings (1, 3, and 4) or you can tune the strings to lower notes.

The correct cello left hand position for playing in tune and producing a clear sound involves placing the fingers on the strings close to the metal frets, keeping the wrist straight, and applying consistent pressure to the strings.
A bass could, and you could also have another cello play the lower part. There are other cases where a violin/viola could also.
A 'cello can be manually tuned in two places - the tuning pegs above the fingerboard, used for changing the tuning in large increments, or the fine tuners on the tailpiece, used for (usually) sub-tone tuning.
