4. If a man has not had intercourse with his slave-girl and she does not please him--This appears to be quite an offense, particularly to the father who has sold his daughter into slavery. Exodus 21:7-11
  a. he shall let her be ransomed. Partially correct. The implication is that her family can pay a ransom and get her back. Exodus 21:8
  b. he has treated her unfairly. Partially correct. Apparently it is deemed unfair to buy her without the intention of having intercourse with her. Exodus 21:8
  c. he has no right to sell her to strangers. Partially correct. This is mentioned as a consequence of unfair treatment (choice b).
  d. all of the above. YES, The implication is that he must sell her back to her family (choice a), give her to his son, or feed, clothe, and have sexual intercourse with her. Failure of her owner to meet these expectations means that she goes free. Exodus 21:7-11
