The correct answer is (a - 2), (b - 3), (c - 1), (d - 4)

Key Points 

Given:

Number of players = 6

Formula used:

$^nC_r=\dfrac{n!}{(n-r)!× r!}$

Calculation:

Since each player will play every other player once.

So, to play a game 2 players are to be chosen out of 6 players.

∴ n=6n=6n=6

and r=2r=2r=2

∴ 6C2=6!(6−2)!×2!6C2=6!(6−2)!×2!6C2=6!(6−2)!×2!

=6×5×4!4!×2!=6×5×4!4!×2!=6×5×4!4!×2!

=15=15=15

Hence, 15 is the correct answer.
