Answer»

Right answer is (a) Unique code for each transponder

Easiest explanation: Unlike the ATCRBS where a squawk code is dialed into the transponder, a MODE S transponder has a unique identity PERMANENTLY assigned to it. The mode S RADAR system can have more than 16 million different identities, enough for each airplane in the world to have a unique identity.
