with whom tells us that her is the correct choice..
and if we use "her" i.e the object pronoun, then me should be used at the end..

IMO A.
It is like. You should share your secrets with "her". You should not share your secrets with "me".
In passive voice it becomes,
It ought to be "her" with whom you share your secrets, not "me".
What's the OA?
