Hi miyabi,
I have some advice. I hope it help you.
1. No, you can not. "happen" is an intransitive verb. An event "happen" itself, there is nothing "happen" it. I mean, an event "happen" without any object.
2.
a) What happens to you? or What happened to you?
(b) and (c) are absolutely right.
d) What was happening to you? ( It can't be used in
