'by transfer of radar identification' would mean either by a controller in the same room physically pointing at the contact on your screen and giving an ident or being given a postion report over the phone from the controller handing over.

Option e would be used when a radar handover as in the above example isn't used and the aircraft free-calls you. You would give him a squawk and by seeing the pilot set that squawk on your display he is idented.
