Dear comrades.
Can anyone help me with these words?
.....do you like best, your mother or your father?
A) Who B)Which one
I think which one is somewhat wrong here. Am I right?

Well, if that is a test question, it is somewhat poor. You are right, 'who' is a tad more usual, but there is nothing wrong with 'which one', either.

Who do you like most, your mother or your father?
Which one do you like most, your mother or your father?
Both are correct. First one is more in use. I think "best" is not appropriate word here.

"Who do you like most?" might be more logical if you interpret it literally, but "who do you like best?" is quite common and natural. If the logic of it bothers you just consider it an idiom.
