Use doubt that when your are suspecting something eg: I doubt that he has won the competition.
Use doubt whether when you express uncertainty.
Ex : I doubt whether we will see the comet today.
Doubt if is more of an informal use of doubt whether.

@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.

B is correct because "one of"means one out of many.
