Let I denote the unit interval $[0, 1].$ Which of the following statements are true?

Let $B := {(x, y) in mathbb{R}^2

Let I denote the unit interval $[0, 1].$ Which of the following statements are true?
Which of the following statements are true?
$(a)$ There exists a continuous function $f : B rightarrow mathbb{R}$ which is one-one
$(b)$ There exists a continuous function $f : B rightarrow mathbb{R}$ which is onto.
$(c)$ There exists a continuous function $f : B rightarrow I × I$ which is one-one.
$(d)$ There exists a continuous function $f : B rightarrow I × I$ which is onto.
I thinks none of option will be correct
option $a)$ and option $b)$ is false Just using the logics of compactness, that is $mathbb{R}$ is not compacts
option c) and option d) is false just using the logic of connectedness that is $B-{0}$ is not connected but $I × I-{0}$ is connectedness
Is my logics is correct or not ?
Any hints/solution will be appreciated

@Randall compactness does help if you know dimension theory too: if $f: B to mathbb{R}$ were continuous and 1-1, $f[B]$ would be homeomorphic to $B$ by compactness. But $dim f[B] le 1$ while $dim B=2$. Bit overkill though.

Option a) is false because we cannot even find such a map from $S^1$, the unit circle by the simplest version of Borsuk-Ulam: there are already points $x$ and $-x$ on the boundary of $B$ that have the same value.
Option b) is indeed most easily disproved by noting that $f[B]$ is compact and the reals are not.
Options c) and d) are true: $B$ is homeomorphic to $ I times I$, as is well-known. A homeomorphism will fulfill both. Note that $Bsetminus{0}$ is actually connected so your proposed argument doesn’t work.

(a) is false
As $B$ is a compact and $f$ is continuous, $f$ is an homeomorphism from the compact $B$ to $f[B]$. As $B$ is connected, $f[B]$ is also connected and is therefore an interval. However $Bsetminus {0}$ is connected and $f[Bsetminus {0}]$ cannot be connected. That can’t be as $f$ is an homeomorphism.
(b) is false
The image of the compact $B$ must be compact and $mathbb R$ isn’t.
(c) and (d) are true
Consider the application that transform a ray of the unit ball into the line segment joining the origin of $B$ to the point of square aligned with the original ray.

(a) is false
As $B$ is a compact and $f$ is continuous, $f$ is an homeomorphism from the compact $B$ to $f[B]$. As $B$ is connected, $f[B]$ is also connected and is therefore an interval. However $Bsetminus {0}$ is connected and $f[Bsetminus {0}]$ cannot be connected. That can’t be as $f$ is an homeomorphism.
(b) is false
The image of the compact $B$ must be compact and $mathbb R$ isn’t.
(c) and (d) are true
Consider the application that transform a ray of the unit ball into the line segment joining the origin of $B$ to the point of square aligned with the original ray.
