Criteria for boson and Bose Einstein Condensate

The answer is given as (a). I want to know the reason. It is a boson. Why can't it form a Bose-Einstein condensate?

The answer is not (a).

Edit: To prove that it can't be (a), see Bose-Einstein Condensation of Atomic Hydrogen

I am amazed. I had no idea spin polarized hydrogen could exist.

So (d) would be the correct answer?

Yes, because it is the only atom in the list with an even number if nucleons and an odd number of electrons an hence a fermion.
