If you really doubt that something is true (suspect that it's false), use "doubt that" I doubt that Fred has really lost 25 pounds. ' If you want to express uncertainty, use "whether": "I doubt whether we'll see the comet if the clouds don't clear soon. ' "Doubt if" can be substituted for "doubt whether".

@Noufal.
A is correct because we are talking about one member which is there among all the members.
"One of the" is used to select one person from a group of persons. Like "One of my FRIENDS".

One of the member is picked from members.

"Doubt that" means you believe something is not true.
"Doubt whether" means you are uncertain.
Here the sentence shows uncertainty, so “whether” is required.
Correct answer is "One of the members expressed doubt whether the Minister was an atheist".
