1.C

Siegfried is the 3rd opera in the Ring of the Nibelung cycle.

2.C

The term 'leitmotif', or leading motive, was first coined by Wagner.

3.A

Tchaikovsky's 3 famous ballets are The Nutcracker, Swan Lake and Sleeping Beauty.

5.B

Program music is the term for music which tells a story, or evokes extramusical imagery.

6.A

This was Gounod's most famous work.

The above answers are pretty clear cut. The Brahms question is not well set though. Brahms' music is often described as thick and heavy. It's either B or D, I'd probably go with D.

Edit: I'm having a short discussion with two of my friends right now on the Brahms question, and they agree that D is the closest option. You'll find very little dissonant Brahms, though there are some passages in works such as the Violin Concerto and the famous G minor Rhapsody. Other works, such as the last movement of the G minor piano quartet and the Violin Concerto suggest that his music is highly optimistic and charged with positive emotions.
