- aMinister-President (Ministerpräsidentin/Ministerpräsident)Ministerpräsidentin/Ministerpräsident

- cPresident of the Senate (Präsidentin/Präsident des Senates)Präsidentin/Präsident des Senates
- dGoverning Mayor (Regierende Bürgermeisterin/Regierender Bürgermeister)Regierende Bürgermeisterin/Regierender BürgermeisterCorrect answer
Why?
The head of government of Berlin is called the Governing Mayor (Regierende Bürgermeisterin or Regierender Bürgermeister), because Berlin is a city and a federal state at the same time. He or she leads the Senate, that is, the Berlin state government. “President of the Senate” is tempting, but that title belongs to Bremen; in Hamburg the head of government is called the First Mayor (Erster Bürgermeister).
