b
By the Fundamental theorem of finitely generated abelian groups,
A≅Zr⊕T
(1)
with T finite. If a nonzero element has a nonzero component in T, projection to T separates it. Otherwise some integer coordinate is a nonzero n; choose a prime p not dividing n and reduce that coordinate modulo p. This gives a finite quotient in which the element survives, so every finitely generated abelian group is residually finite.
