The second part of c is false.
The set on the right hand side contains 2 elements, ∅ and {∅, {∅}}. The set on the left hand side contains only {∅} which is not one of the elements of the right hand side. Therefore it isn't a subset.

Everything else that pbb1001 answered looks right.

An important thing to understand in all of these is the difference between ∈ and ⊆. The ∈ symbol means "is an element of". Which means that whatever is to the left of the symbol must be an element that is in the set to the right. The ⊆ symbol means "is a subset of". So whatever is to the left is a set. And the elements inside this set are also inside the set to the right.
