I'd use "for" rather than "of." I don't think "of" is incorrect, but I think "for" is better.
I think all the variations (a-e) are commonly used. I think "a" is the best one.
================================
1. What is the zip code for Dokdo?
1-2. what is the zip code which is used for Dokdo?
(Can we consider the use of 'for' as 'which is used for' in #1-2? Or does 'for' mean 'about' or 'concerning'?)
