" is okay. A) and B) are equally correct, but "her" needs an antecedent. What did the policeman say at the door of the woman's house?

I see two different meanings, though.

There are two (or more) police officers. One is by the door. It's a question of what that person said.

There is one police officer, and it's a question of what he said at that location, not in the bedroom or the kitchen.
