There are many different proteins embedded in the membrane. Except for flip flop movements rest occurs. Choice (a) is amply demonstrated when the travelling proteins aggregate at sites of endocytosis. Choice (c) type of proteins can be enzymes which are confined to cetrain domains (for e.g., present only on cell surface) choice (d) types are non-trasmembrane proteins.
