Explanation
“Over one’s head” is an idiom for something beyond a person’s comprehension, as in “this discussion is over my head”. That matches option (d), “beyond one’s ability to understand”. Option (b) confuses it with the different idiom “go over someone’s head” (bypass authority), while (a) and (c) are literal misreadings. Hence (d).
