Based on the description of the plan having a diamond shape, it is most likely referring to **b. Bramante’s plan**. Bramante's original design for St. Peter's Basilica featured a Greek cross layout which has a diamond shape when viewed from above. If additional characteristics of the plan were known, that could help further confirm the answer.
