d
The finite-witness version of part c can be iterated by the standard product argument: color one finite witness by the entire color pattern it induces on a second witness, find a diagonal triple with one pattern, and then find a diagonal triple inside that common pattern. This is the special four-point case of the Gallai theorem for an integer lattice. Apply that theorem to
S={(0,0),(1,1),(2,2),(2,0)}⊆N2.

A monochromatic homothetic copy (a,b)+rS is exactly
{(a,b),(a+r,b+r),(a+2r,b+2r),(a+2r,b)},
(2)
as required.
