I think it will be "b" because I believe here it will be "whoever" instead of "whosoever".

Option C can be like this also had done the most for the downtrodden. Am I right?

"she was told" is correct usage because someone was saying her to do something.

Does whosoever have meaning to the sentence I think it might be the error too.

Prabu said:   1 decade ago
Yes it is whosoever means formal term for whoever.

We can not use told+ to in a sentence, Am I right?

Why had? I think has is also perfect there.
