I propose

b) or e); more likely e).

Because

This is a transcription of Frère Jacques sung in a round in the key of C, omitting the treble clef and tails to crotchets and minims. Though the fact that the Dormez-vous? line is an octave below the Frère Jacques line indicates singers with two different ranges. If this is the point where the half line repeats, then the answer is e); if it is the point where the lines change then the answer is b). I tend towards e) as I might expect a third singer to be introduced with b).

My best explanation for this title is

That this is a High Quality, two person IQ Puzzle but with the first part dropped by an octave.
