I actually believe e) is correct. From my understanding (I could be wrong), but you can continue to make strokes on your provisional so long as you haven't reached the point where the original is.

Rule 27b: The player may play a provisional ball until he reaches the place where the original ball is likely to be. If he makes a stroke with the provisional ball from the place where the original ball is likely to be or from a point nearer the hole than that place, the original ball is lost and the provisional ball becomes the ball in playunder penalty of stroke and distance (Rule 27-1).
