I think it would be helpful with some of these if you told us the exact wording of the instructions. For example, do the instructions imply that only one choice is correct English, or do they merely imply that one choice is more likely or more usual than the others? What exactly do the instructions ask you to do?

The best choice is b) to say. In multiple-choice tests, several answers might seem reasonable, but you have to choose the best answer out of those given. Multiple-choice tests can be exasperatingly tricky because of this. American students have been tearing their hair out over them for generations.
