Answer»

Correct option is (d) 63Mhz above or below the received FREQUENCY

To elaborate: The Ground beacon in the DME RECEIVES the airborne pulses, and after a 50μs delay, retransmits them BACK to the aircraft on a frequency 63Mhz above or below the airborne TRANSMITTING frequency. Here the frequency received by the DME is the Airborne transmitting frequency.
