Solution

The correct option is B whose
Relative pronouns have two functions- Like other pronouns they stand for a noun or pronoun placed before them and like conjunctions they join subclauses with main clause and start the adjective clause.
In the given sentence the subject is a lady and it also shows possession.
'Who','Whom' and 'Whose' are used in case of persons.
'Whose' is the possessive form of 'who'. We use 'whose' to find out which person something belongs to. Thus option C is the correct answer.
'Which' is used in case of things.
Thus options A,B,D are incorrect.
