    a. Doppler and transit observations.

    Explanation:

    By means of the dopler effect, the radial velocity of an extrasolar planet can be measured, this is achieved by observing Doppler shifts in the spectrum of the star around which the planet orbits. This measure, combined with the transit observations, makes possible determine the density of the planet.
