And where do you see anything that allows H to be "correct" in giving 
answer (c)?

The specific input either represents a machine that does (a) or does 
(b), so in no case is the results of "it can not be decided" be correct.

You are just showing that you fundamentally don't understand what you 
are talking about.

The question follows the rule of the excluded middle, so there is no 
valid answer (c).
