The correct answer is

(a) and (d)

(a) and (d) are correct. Woolf traces the contributions of women writers and their predecessors, notably Aphra Behn, and links literary freedom to money and a room of one's own. She explains restricted opportunities through historical and material barriers, rather than an innate, unchangeable inability to write.
