She tried to be serious.
a.Yes,but she couldn't help laughing.
b.Yes,but she couldn't help to laugh.
c.Yes,but she couldn't help that she laughed.
d.Yes,but she couldn't help laugh.

Which is correct?
 
You try first.
 
Is b correct?
 
Actually, none of them is correct. If you put a space after the comma following 'Yes', one of them is just about possible.
 
You should have,

'Yes, but/however she couldn't help but laugh.



Otherwise, C would be correct if you fix the punctuation.
