Correct answer: A

Explanation

  1. "Who" refers to "those women", which is plural, so the verb is plural: "women who have always helped".

Worth noting

"One" at the start tempts a singular verb. But "who" points to "women", the nearest noun it describes.

Concept
"One of those who" takes a plural verb
