I will go with D here.

I spent a lot of time in determining which of the two - who/whom was correct usage. who is an subject case; whom is an object case.

Whom is used for objective case & who for subjective........

when action is being performed on someone we use objective whom

For example: in the above sentence, many later are performing the action of calling Franz Joseph Haydn "Father of the Symphony"

when action is being performed by someone we use subjective who

For example: who did this???
