I'd say that the correct answers are as where he is now meeting with Faustus and as deprived of everlasting bliss.

Mephistohilis says that hell is everywhere - it is not a particular place, but rather a state of one's mind. He says that wherever there is no God, there is hell, which means that whenever God is not present, hell rules over that location. The demon also states that there is no bliss in hell - it is just pain, and torment, and eternal suffering, which is why the other two options do not fit in this context.
