Hi Sultano

Only option (a) works. "Blissfully ignorant" is a typical collocation. You might also find "blissfully unaware" or "blissfully oblivious", for example. Those have similar meanings. To describe a state of not knowing something, we would use blissfully. (Blissfully can also be used when there is knowledge of something.) I'd say the other three options would be used only to describe the knowing of something.
