(c) branch target buffer

(d) branch instruction register

This question was posed to me in a dream while sleeping

This interesting question is from Pentium topic in portion Recent Advancements in Microprocessor Architecture of Microprocessor

Answer 1

Right option is (c) branch target buffer

For explanation I would say: The processor uses an associative memory called branch target buffer for implementing the algorithm, multiple branch prediction.
