c)
I like to play ping-pong and I watch TV to relax.

"Ping pong ball" is the actual ball, not the name of the game.
English has several verbs that can be followed by "myself" (and "yourself", "herself", "himself", "oneself", "ourselves", "themselves") but the verb "relax" is NOT followed by one of those words. (= It is not reflexive.) However, you can give a massage to someone else (or play gentle music for them etc.) and "relax them", "relax him" or "relax her".

| Past | Present | Future |
| could, was/were able to | can; be able to | will be able to |
| had to | must; have to | will have to |

weekend.
c)
I often spend time with my friends on the weekend.
d)
I always
play with my friends on the
weekend.
e)
I often hang out with my friends on
weekends.
¡¡
e) is not wrong but has a particular meaning - To "hang out" includes the idea of having no aims, i.e., nothing to do while looking for something to do and usually it is rather immature teenagers who "hang out". For example, "The teenagers in this town have very little to do - they just hang out at tthe shopping mall after school and on weekends."
If you want to give the impression in the IELTS test of being a rather casual or even a "cool" teenager who is not very serious about anything then "hang out" might be suitable for you. But if you are a well-educated professional person then it would not suit you unless you really do spend time with your friends with no particular idea of what to do and you simply do whatever takes your fancy (= do whatever catches your interest) to pass the time. Visiting your friends to just chat and have a cup of tea or coffee or a beer is not really the same as simply "hanging out" with them, although it is close to that. But people who do that are not usually aimless and looking for something to do to pass the time.
