b) The generated vaccum inside the bottle sucks the egg in.

c) Due to heating the bottle contains hot air. When the air cools down after putting the egg onto the bottleneck, the air pressure inside the bottle deteriorates. And since the external air pressure is higher the egg is being forced into the bottle.
