I think only option c and d are correct, as bearing capacity factors only depend on angle of internal friction only. Whereas other terms are cohesion of soil, geometric properties and depth of foundation below surface of soil.

In place of options A and B, it should be size factor and shape factor and then the right answer is option E.
