A ( It is named after a person’s name  ) 

F ( It depends on number of external links )

and

G. ( It depends on PageRank of linking websites)

 

Explaination: excerpted from wikipedia:

A- PageRank was named after Larry Page,[1] one of the founders of Google.

 

F- PageRank works by counting the number and quality of links to a page to determine a rough estimate of how important the website is. The underlying assumption is that more important websites are likely to receive more links from other websites.

D. its an indirect impact - long domain age associated with high pagerank reflect organic and authority backlinks.

 

G- The PageRank of a page is defined recursively and depends on the number and PageRank metric of all pages that link to it ("incoming links"). A page that is linked to by many pages with high PageRank receives a high rank itself.

Agreed with @Hira and concur with her explainations. Its A, F & G

BTW D is not accounted in PR Calculation. You can find the formulae used to calculate PR if you do a Google search.
