a,e, and d; you can use both parentheses and 2 commas, to separate extra info

The answer to your question would be that the sentences that are punctuated correctly are the following ones: Tyler (who loves learning about the past) is reading a book about ancient Persian; Tyler, who loves learning about the past, is reading a book about ancient Persia and Tyler -who loves learning about the past- is reading a book about ancient Persia. That is, your answers would be A, D and E.

The clause set off by the punctuation marks is a non-restrictive relative clause. Non-restrictive relative clauses provide information which is not essential to the meaning of the sentence and therefore are set off with commas, dashes or parenthesis.
