b
By part (a), the Paris model M is well-founded. Let π be an automorphism of a first-order structure of (M,∈M). External epsilon induction shows that every element is fixed: if π(y)=y for every y∈Mx, then preservation of membership and extensionality give
π(x)={π(y):y∈Mx}=x.
(1)
Hence π is the identity function. This is Paris models are rigid when their complete theory has a well-founded model, so every Paris model of T is a rigid first-order structure.
