1."Every"(a)
'Every single' is a fixed expression that adds emphasis, meaning 'absolutely every one without exception'. We cannot say 'each single'.
2."each"(d)
'Each' emphasises looking at the photos one by one, individually. The phrase 'one by one' is a strong signal for 'each'.
3."every"(b)
'Every single morning' is a fixed emphatic expression. 'Each single morning' is not natural English.
4."each"(c)
'Each of them has' — 'each of' + pronoun/determiner + noun is correct. 'Every' cannot be followed by 'of'. 'All of them' would need the plural verb 'have'.
5."every"(?)
'Almost every' is a standard combination meaning 'nearly all'. We cannot say 'almost each' — it is ungrammatical.
