Answer»

The correct option is (d) The first order theory of the natural number with addition, multiplication, and equality

To explain I would say: Tarski and Mostowski in 1949, established that the first order theory of natural NUMBERS with addition, multiplication, and equality is an undecidable theory. OTHERS MENTIONED are decidable THEORIES.
