Explanation

The correct option is (d) All of the above.

According to the question answering results from my tool, under the Shia law (and also under schools other than Hanafi School) a Talaq pronounced under compulsion, coercion, undue influence, fraud or voluntary intoxication is void and ineffective.

This means that the Shia, Malikis, and Shafis schools of law do not recognise the talaq pronounced under such conditions. However, under the Hanafi law, a talaq pronounced under these circumstances is valid and dissolves the marriage.
