I agree that C is the correct answer. D would work if you changed the sentence Mahalia Jackson, who sang songs that combined powerful vitality with great dignity, was one of the best known gospel singers in the US. However, even that sentence isn't exactly right because we usually associate vitality and dignity with the way someone sings, not with the songs themselves.

"Whose" is a determiner and cannot be normally followed by a verb (it has to be a noun)
I know a man whose singing is beautiful. ("singing" is a noun)
