Which one?

Hi,

I've got a multiple test question. Here it is:

Can you hear what he is...?

(a) saying
(b) speaking
(c) telling
(d) talking

I think that option a is the correct answer but I don't know why other options are incorrect in this context. I need an explanation here.

Think about the possible answers:
He is saying that he got the job. (good)
He is speaking that he got the job. (wrong)
He is telling that he got the job. (wrong)
He is talking that he got the job. (wrong)
