Explanation
'Whose' is the possessive relative pronoun, so the clumsy 'of whose voice' must be replaced by 'whose voice': 'the mother of the girl whose voice I had recognised.' 'The voice of who' (B) wrongly uses 'who' in the possessive slot, and 'voice whose' (C) scrambles the word order. Hence the answer is A.
