How it is possible that MEMBERS when ONE is mention there ?
Aayam said:

@Ratnam and Nilesh: "One" is not referring to members.. we are talking about "One" of the "members". So, there is no need to match their number.
As i see this, answer should be B, because there is a redundancy here, "expressed doubt" should be replaced by "doubted". :)
Correct me if i am wrong.

Can any one see that the word athiest is spelled wrong here.

Athiest: Atheism is commonly defined as the position that there are no deities. It can also mean the rejection of belief in the existence of deities. A broader definition is simply the absence of belief that any deities exist.

Could'nt we use 'whether' instead of 'that' in the answer.

@aayam: expressed is rightly written here as he has not kept the doubt to himself (in that case doubted wud hv been fine) but expressed in front of others.
This explanation is just about the redundancy of doubting as both "if" and "doubt" are expressing the same thing hence it should b replaced by that

@swetha you can use 'whether' after 'that' I. E, "doubted that whether. ".

Friends! can we make the option D as correct one considering the sentence as an indirect speech.
Eg. Make it indirect
Ramesh said to me "Are you mad?".
