The idiomatic collocation is 'base a decision on something', so the preposition must be 'on', ruling out 'about' and 'to'. Additionally, the embedded clause 'how much free time I can manage' must follow normal statement word order, not the inverted interrogative order 'how much free time can I manage' seen in option (a).
