A Both options are not natural and the meanings are a bit unclear. You might ask someone with a tattoo:
a) Why did you get a tattoo?
b) What does your tattoo mean?
B What is the reason for this discrepancy? ("behind" is unnatural)
C (1) Are you the sort of person who just loves hurting women who love you?
(2) Are you the sort of person who just loves hurting the woman who loves you?
Both correct. (1) all/any women (2) the specific woman who loves you now
D (1) is correct: Are you the sort of person who just loves hurting others' feelings?
(2) is wrong
If these questions are from an official test, then it is a bad test.
