omega17, this one is tricky.
My answer : D. First it is the shortest of the two.
C might be correct if "Olive Ann Beech IS the one whose business mind was"
Also, I felt Who was the business mind behind X? Olive Ann Beech was the business mind behind X. But, whenever I feel, I am wrong.

OA says it's D, anyone who can enlighten me here?
I choose D.
"mind" can refer to a person or a group or an organization.
So it is possible to say: X is the mind behind Y.
To quote from dictionary.com:
5. a person considered with reference to intellectual power: the greatest minds of the twentieth century.
