Um, okay so you know that in an integral domain the product of 2 non-zero elements can't be $0$. You also know that every field is also an integral domain. Now,

a) $\mathbb{C}$ is a field

b) Integers modulo a prime numbers form a field. 11 is a prime

d) Again, this is also a field, as can be shown with little work.

e) $\mathbb{R}[X]$ is an integral domain. Can be easily proved and is well known.
