Yes. For any R>1, the formula
[(x,t)]⟼((R+tcos(x/2))cosx,(R+tcos(x/2))sinx,tsin(x/2))
(1)
defines the standard smooth embedding of the open Möbius band into R3. Replacing (x,t) by (x+2π,−t) leaves the displayed point unchanged. The image is the interior of a compact Möbius strip, so the embedding fails to be a proper map; this is why it does not contradict part (d).
