When there is profession Like doctor, soldier, teacher. We make plural of both the words. Like men soldiers. Women doctors. Women soldiers. So, C is correct.

I agree with @Gaurav, here singular form of woman should be used.

The answer should be B because here woman is acting like an adjective to the noun doctor so there is no need to use its plural form.
