(assuming UDE is suppose to be KDE)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UDE . Available for Linux.

#2 Can have Compiz on XFCE, Unity or LXDE...

Generally this is a good place to look at: http://xwinman.org/

hmm interesting....I learn something new every time I pop on the forum.

1. b - TCSH is a shell. The rest are GUIs.
2. c - UDE is an old GUI. Compiz could be used with many desktop environments, but it is very commonly used with Unity.
3. d - Unity uses a lot of RAM compared to most GUI systems, so Unity should not be used in embedded or light-weight systems.

Great job Primit1v3! I knew I could stump someone with UDE. Linux has many desktop environments and window managers.

Notice that I have "GUI/desktop-environment". Ratpoison can be run by itself (I have not tried it myself yet).
