If you are asking about the meaning of the sentence:

You've got me head over heels! Another way of saying it would be:

I am completely and hopelessely in love with you.

That's why the correct answer is (c), as indicated.

Apparently, the phrase originated as 'heels over head', which is more logical, and was later turned upside down! :)
