(d)

The plane of coil will orient it self so that area vector aligns itself along the magnetic field. So, the plane will orient perpendicular to the magnetic field.

Parallel  to the magnetic field. The coil will Orient itself so that its plane becomes parallel to the magnetic field and the torque acting on the coil becomes zero.
