This is an example of reductive amination, which generally proceeds through two main steps: (i) condensation reaction between the amine and carbonyl to generate an imine; and (ii) reduction of the imine to the corresponding amine.
Clearly (e) can't do this reaction since there is no carbonyl. The reason why (a) is also an answer comes down to the wording of ...

How to rationalise the resonance structures and hybridisation of the nitrogen in a conjugated amine?
I wanted to add a perspective to this since this can be a contentious issue, and I would still say knowing whether a nitrogen is $sp^2$ or $sp^3$ hybridized is not straightforward. I was originally hoping to add this under this question specifically about aniline, but that question is now closed and marked as duplicate, with a link to this question.
In a ...

In modern organic synthesis, reductive amination of aldehydes and ketones is considered one of the important and principal ways to make secondary and tertiary amines. It is a powerful and reliable strategy for the formation of $\ce{C–N}$ bonds. One of the advantages of the reductive amination is it can avoid the problem of over-alkylation that is always the ...

" compound produces a solid" indicates that a reaction has occured.(hence no 3° amine group(according to this)). Further this is insoluble in base so there is a 2° amine group.
"This solid dissolves in acid" directly implies that there is a 3° amine group.
Hence there is both 2° amine group as well as 3° amine group in the compound.
Hence option b is the ...
