I'm not sure what "d" says. "A" is the correct answer here. If the colon had appeared after the word "by," it would be appropriate.
<<a. Students, who study hard, should do well on the test.
b. Students who study hard should do well on the test.

Right. Letter "a" is wrong.
<<a. Alex realized the outfielder had dropped the ball.
b. After sliding into second base, Alex realized the outfielder had dropped the ball.

Both are fine from a grammar standpoint (unless I am missing something).
<<a. Bob enjoys playing football, and Jim enjoys playing hockey.
b. Bob enjoys playing football and Jim enjoys playing hockey.

The comma is wrong in letter "a." It should not be there. Better "b" is the correct answer.
