Well, back in 6th grade history class I remember they taught us the Vandals and Visigoths were the two groups responsible for the Fall of Rome (at least that was the correct answer on the test) but all of those you listed were considered "barbarian" groups that took part in the decline.
For that reason, I would say either the Vandals or Visigoths but that's a tough one. Can you take away 2 of the choices like they do on Millionaire? ;)

The Germanic (shouters) tribes ended the Roman Empire in the West.
In the West, the office of Emperor soon degenerated into being little more than a puppet of a succession of Germanic tribal kings, until finally the Heruli Odoacer simply overthrew Emperor Romulus Augustulus in 476, shipped the imperial regalia to the Emperor Zeno in Constantinople and assumed the title "King of Italy". Though during his own lifetime Odoacer maintained the legal fiction that he was actually ruling Italy as the viceroy of Zeno, historians mark 476 as the traditional date of the fall of the Roman Empire in the West. In the East, the Empire continued as the Byzantine Empire until the fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Turks in 1453.

None of the above. If you really mean the "ultimate end" in 476, the group responsible for it was the mixed barbarian contingents in the West Roman Army. Their commander Odoacer demanded an increased land grant for them and when the power behind the throne, the emperor's father, refused, Odoacer removed him and his son Romulus Augustulus.

visigoths, but you could argue that it was the romans themselves that led to there decline and fall.
